with more on this here's yolande knell. potentially this could make really a very dramatic difference, that's precisely why. precisely why we have had now for weeks aid agencies and foreign governments, including the uk, asking forjust these kinds of changes. what we understand from local media reports is that there was a very long meeting of israel's security cabinet which has so far resisted these changes, and this was in response to that stark warning given by president biden to the israeli prime minister last night, and that afterwards, having been told by the israeli security establishment and by israeli diplomats that israel was facing potentially international sanctions, potentially even an arms embargo, that's when they decided to make these changes. so what we should see now is the erez crossing in the very north of the gaza strip that was badly damaged in the 7th of october attacks, that really triggered this war, that should be reopened for aid. and then also the ashdod container port, it's about 20 miles, 30 kil

let's go live to our middle east correspondent yolande knell. let's start with qatar and reassessing its role as a mediator between israel and hamas. just how crucial is qatar in that process? qatar has played a key role, along with egypt, with us involvement as well. back in november we had a week—long truce and hostage release deal, but since then it has proved much more difficult to try to get some kind of new deal agreed between the two parties. qatar is seen as being an important go—between because it does have significant leveraged over hamas. it hosts in doha some senior hamas leaders, as it has done for many years, they live there in excel. at the same time, qatar has this very important role as an ally of the us in the region. it hosts a large us military base in its desert and often does serve a purpose in these kinds of negotiations. now, these are strong comments that have been made by the prime minister, who is also the foreign minister of qatar. he has been talking about how there are narrow political interests that are being s

for more, here's our middle east correspondent yolande knell. there does seem to be a flurry of activity in recent days, giving a new push towards a kind of deal that would see israeli hostages are being returned from gaza by hamas in exchange for a ceasefire. and we are expecting the hamas delegation in cairo to give their response to the latest israeli proposal that is on the table. what we know is there has been a lot of effort by mediators to try to bridge the gap between the two sides. the main sticking point has been hamas has said it is only willing to talk about returning hostages in exchange for a full ceasefire and a full withdrawal of israeli troops from gaza. israel up to now has been saying it is only ready to talk about a pause in hostilities. there is this report in the us website suggesting that israeli officials are ready to talk about the sustainable, the restoration of sustainable calm in gaza, this could be a formula of words that could help bring the two sides together. internationaljournalists have not been allowed to enter

our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, explains the breakdown of the $26 billion package. we have had israel's foreign minister, israel katz, coming out quite quickly thanking the us congress for this, noting that there was overwhelming bipartisan support, and saying that this sends a strong message to israel's enemies. of course, this package was passed after there had been some congressional democrats who had been saying in recent weeks that further military aid to israel from the us should come with conditions attached because of concerns about the conduct of the war in gaza. but this doesn't seem to have been the case, and if you break down that $17 billion that's heading the way of israel, it's about 5 billion for replenishing and expanding its air defence system, and the real value of that has been proved time and time again in the past six months or so as the war in gaza has raged on. and we've had the new threats emerging to israel, the likes of the direct attack by iran using drones and missiles earlier this month, for the first time coming directly from iranian s
