American pressure: Israel authorizes reopening of Erez Crossing, military commanders replaced

Following American pressure, Israel’s select security cabinet approved the opening of the Erez crossing, observing the first time the crossing has been accessible since the October 7 assault.

Similarly, the chief of staff of the Israeli army decided to relieve the commander of the Nahal brigade as well as the assistant brigade commander, following the demise of foreign humanitarian workers.

This series of decisions comes against a backdrop of raised tensions and a reassessment of Israeli military operations.
