The US and Israel are close to signing a new agreement to resume humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza, according to Axios, citing two Israeli sources and one American source familiar with the matter. The sources indicated that the agreement will establish protocols for humanitarian aid delivery to prevent Hamas from seizing it, with the IDF not being directly involved. Israeli sources said the IDF will not be involved in aid delivery or present at aid distribution sites, but will provide indirect security in various areas of the Strip.
