After phone call with Biden, Israel is now reopening Erez crossing into northern Gaza

Do you think this has anything to do with what was said between Biden and Netanyahu?

Considering Israel has claimed for months that it cannot safely re-open crossings, and that it is not the one keeping aid out of Gaza, suddenly they have a change of tune right after Biden apparently made some level of threats towards Israel. I am inclined to think the two are related.

Question is: What do you think the threat was?
I'm sure at some point it will leak, and it will be very interesting.

It could be connected to the killing of those humanitarian workers. On of those killed was an American with Canadian dual citizenship.
Israel does not have the full support of the American people. Any loss of an American life, that is not a member of the armed forces, and no action taken, including military action, will absolutely lose Biden the election.

@calicuz Exactly. And I am sure Netanyahu knows his chances are far better with the predictable Biden than the loose cannon of Trump.

Trump has no clue what foreign policy is. 🤷‍♂️

@calicuz Israel doesn't even have the support of many Israeliis.

Exactly, just as neither Biden or Trump have the support of the majority of Americans.
