(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - Ahead of a Wednesday deadline set by the U.S., Israel's security cabinet has approved a series of steps aimed at boosting the humanitarian situation in Gaza, an Israeli official said Monday. The measures approved on Sunday included an increase in the amount of aid entering Gaza, and an expansion of the Muwasi humanitarian zone.
