Israel reopens Rafah Crossing for pedestrians after two years
Gaza: Israel has reopened the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt for pedestrian movement after two years, according to Arab media reports.
Under strict security checks, approximately 150 Palestinians will be allowed to exit Gaza daily, while 50 Palestinians will be permitted entry into Gaza.
An Israeli security official confirmed that European monitoring teams have arrived at the crossing. However, despite the reopening, foreign journalists are still not being allowed entry into Gaza.
It is worth noting that Israel took control of the Rafah Crossing in May 2024 and had since closed it for all movement.
