Israel opened a western section of the Erez border crossing into Gaza for the first time on Sunday, to transfer humanitarian aid into the Strip, although construction there has not yet been completed.
Some 40 trucks are expected to cross through the border crossing during the day.
The Erez Crossing, often simply called the Erez border, is a pedestrian and cargo terminal on the Israel-Gaza Strip border. It's situated at the northern end of the Gaza Strip, near the Israeli village of Nir Am.
Joe Biden is expected to use Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to wind down the war in Gaza, but in the waning months of his term the U.S. president may lack leverage to bend the Israeli leader to his will.

Israel said on Thursday that Yahya Sinwar, the overall leader of Hamas and the architect of the Palestinian group's Oct. 7, 2023 attacks on Israeli soil, had been killed.
