Biden says Egypt will open Gaza border crossing to allow humanitarian aid

Flying home after visiting Tel Aviv, US President Joe Biden praised Egyptian president Abdel Fatah al-Sisi for agreeing to open the Rafah border crossing to allow 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza and told reporters he had been blunt with the Israelis about the need to support getting aid to Palestinians. 'But the point being if Hamas confiscates it [aid] or doesn't let it get through, and just confiscates it, then it's going to end because we're not gonna be sending any humanitarian aid to Hamas if it's going to be confiscated, that's a commitment I’ve made,' Biden said US vetoes UN’s call for ‘humanitarian pause’ and corridors into Gaza ‘Support our people’: growing frustration at Palestine’s leadership in West Bank
