Tel aviv: Israel has reversed its decision to stop humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip following pressure from the United States, pledging to reopen the territory's crossings on Monday.
According to Anadolu Agency, an unnamed political official cited by Channel 12 reported that Israel had initially suspended aid deliveries to Gaza 'until further notice.' However, this decision was reversed due to diplomatic pressure from Washington. The official noted that Israel assured the United States that it would resume the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza by reopening the crossings.
In related developments, a Hamas delegation has arrived in Egypt to discuss the implementation of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza. Despite the ceasefire, a wave of Israeli airstrikes in the enclave has resulted in casualties.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has threatened to terminate all US aid and subsidies to Colombia. He accused Colombian President Gustavo Petro of failing to curb narcotics trafficking and overseeing large-scale drug production. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump labeled Petro as 'an illegal drug leader' and announced the cessation of US financial support, which he claimed had been misused by Colombia.
