Ali Shaath, head of the new Palestinian technocratic committee, announced that the reopening of Gaza’s Rafah Border Crossing represents the beginning of a hopeful process for Gazans. Despite this progress, UNRWA’s Sam Rose noted the ongoing violence, citing 30 Palestinian deaths in recent airstrikes. British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized the need for humanitarian aid and further actions to support Gaza’s recovery and reconstruction.
