Israel said it would resume allowing commercial goods shipments into Gaza after a days-long halt over a tax dispute involving Hamas and merchants, restoring a key route for food and other essentials to the aid-dependent enclave.

Why it matters：Restoring the commercial route eases pressure on Gaza's food supply, though aid cuts by the World Food Programme still threaten hundreds of thousands.

Key points
