Israel to reopen Rafah crossing in Gaza on Sunday

Israel plans to reopen the Rafah border crossing with Egypt on Sunday after nearly two years, allowing limited movement of people as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas. This crossing is vital for humanitarian supplies for Gaza’s displaced population. While Hamas urges for unrestricted access, Israel will maintain strict control, requiring security clearance for all movements. Coordination with Egypt and EU supervision will be part of the process to manage crossings effectively.
