The Israeli military has sacked two senior officers after seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers were killed in a strike in Gaza on Monday.
The IDF's inquiry into the incident says some workers survived initial air strikes, but were killed when a third car was hit.
The BBC's Middle East bureau chief in Jerusalem attended a late night briefing on the IDF's response and is analysing the key lines.
WCK has called for an independent commission to investigate the killings, saying Israel's apologies "represent cold comfort" for the victims' families.
The charity and other aid agencies have paused their operations in Gaza, where the UN estimates 1.1 million people - half the population - are facing catastrophic hunger.
It comes after Israel says it has approved the opening the Erez crossing and Ashdod Port for humanitarian deliveries. More aid from Jordan will also be allowed to enter via the Kerem Shalom crossing.
In their first call since the strike, Joe Biden tells Benjamin Netanyahu that US support for Israel will depend on steps being taken to "address civilian harm" in Gaza.
