Israel: caution after announcement of reopening of Erez crossing point. The Israeli response is also considered insufficient by the President of the European Council.
Israel had not previously opened a route to the north of the Gaza Strip, but this change of heart is arousing skepticism and questions. “I sincerely hope that these intentions will be truly and quickly materialized because the situation in Gaza is absolutely desperate,” declared UN boss Antonio Gutteres. But for the moment, no reopening timetable has been communicated by Israel.
