• Gaza–Egypt border set to open for aid today

  Trucks full of medicine, food, and other humanitarian supplies will reportedly be allowed into Gaza at the Rafah border crossing today after President Biden secured a deal with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to the country earlier this week. But actually getting the aid to the people who need it faces a number of challenges, including the possibility that Hamas militants steal it. Humanitarian officials also say Israel has not yet guaranteed that aid workers will be safe from airstrikes. Biden gave a prime-time address from the Oval Office last night to make the case that Israel and Ukraine need aid ahead of asking Congress to approve $100 billion to help fund the countries’ war efforts, as well as Taiwan and the US border with Mexico. Meanwhile, a US warship in the Red Sea shot down missiles launched by Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen, who may have been aiming at Israel.

• U.S. oil tops $90 as U.S. Navy warship intercepts missiles near Yemen, Energy Dept. plans to buy oil for SPR
  Oil prices moved sharply higher Thursday afternoon in electronic...
  Oil prices moved sharply higher Thursday afternoon in electronic trading, with U.S. benchmark prices topping $90 a barrel. A rise in tensions in the Middle East led to the price climb, with reports that a U.S. Navy warship has intercepted multiple missiles near Yemen. A Pentagon press secretary told reporters that a Navy destroyer intercepted three missiles and several drones that were launched by Houthi forces in Yemen, but their target was unknown. Separately, the U.S. Energy Department said it will post monthly solicitations to buy oil for its Strategic Petroleum Reserve through at least May 2024, with the first request for up to 6 million barrels of oil for delivery in December and January.
  
  The government agency said it plans to buy oil at a price of $79 a barrel or below, which is less than the average $95 it received for 2022 emergency SPR sales. In electronic trading, the November West Texas Intermediate crude contract CLX23 was at $90.68, up from the $89.37 Nymex settlement. December Brent crude BRNZ23 was at $93.25, up from $92.38 at Thursday’s settlement.
