• No immediate confirmation from Israel on the agreement, following a tense phone call between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu.
• Biden threatened future support for Israel could be conditional on addressing civilian casualties and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
• Israel agreed to open the Erez crossing for aid into northern Gaza and the port of Ashdod at Biden’s request.
