Israel's security cabinet has agreed to increase the amount of fuel permitted into the Gaza Strip following pressure from the Biden administration. The decision aims to prevent a humanitarian collapse in southern Gaza and gain continued American support for Israel's military operation. This move comes after talks between the Israeli government and the Biden administration, where Israel showed willingness to discuss plans for Gaza after the war. The Security Cabinet approved the recommendation of the War Cabinet to allow a minimal supplement of fuel into the southern Gaza Strip to prevent a humanitarian collapse and the outbreak of epidemics. The decision also includes accepting certain restrictions on the scale of IDF actions south of the Gaza River. The Israeli Prime Minister's office stated that the level of assistance getting into Gaza is not sufficient, as per a U.S. State Department spokesperson. The move has sparked criticism and defense from Israeli officials, with Minister Ron Dermer emphasizing the critical need for continued American support for Israel's military operation in southern Gaza.
