better protect civilians. what exactly is the warning that is being issued here? >> i'm not going to preview steps. i'm not going to preview decisions that haven't been made yet, but there are things that need to be done. >> reporter: the warning comes as a growing number of democratic senators pushed the white house to impose new conditions on military aid to israel, after the deaths of an estimated 30,000 palestinians and roughly 200 humanitarian workers. the seven workers from world central kitchen were driving in a safe zone, in marked vehicles, and had registered their movements with the israeli military. but they were targeted by missiles anyway, in what the israelis say was a mistake. vermont senator peter welch. >> frankly, i think we are coming to the point where the president is going to have to make a profound decision, and that is, are we going to stop sending u.s. munitions to israel that are used in gaza? >> reporter: the u.s. gives israel more than $3 billion

worth of military aid every year and has approved another transfer that includes more than a thousand 500- and 2,000-pound bombs. >> the united states' support for israel's ability to defend itself from a range of threats, not just hamas, remains ironclad. >> reporter: cbs news has learned that on their phone call today, president biden asked prime minister netanyahu to allow more aid into gaza right away by opening specific gates and establishing more safe routes. and tonight, norah, we have just learned that netanyahu has followed through, allowing the opening of the erez gate in the north of gaza for the first time since the conflict began, along with two other aid corridors. >> norah: that is some new reporting just coming from nancy cordes at the white house. thank you, nancy. officials with the world central kitchen are demanding an independent investigation into the attack on the convoy that its founder, chef jose andres, says was targeted deliberately.
