WASHINGTON, United States -- The United States on Saturday welcomed the arrival of aid trucks from Egypt in the war-torn Gaza Strip, and urged all parties to keep the Rafah crossing open.

People wave Palestinian flags as they rally in support of Palestinians in Los Angeles, California on October 21, 2023, amid ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken earlier urged"all parties to keep the Rafah crossing open to enable the continued movement of aid that is imperative to the welfare of the people of Gaza." The opening of the supply route came after days of intense negotiations and an agreement reached by Biden with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi during Biden's visit to Israel earlier this week.
