Egypt and Israel negotiate to reopen Rafah border crossing for Gaza aid

Egypt is in talks with Israel to reopen the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. This effort aims to increase aid deliveries and work towards a ceasefire. The crossing has been closed since May due to Israeli military operations. Both Egypt and Hamas have shown a willingness to ease demands, including the immediate withdrawal of Israeli forces. The Rafah crossing is crucial for humanitarian aid and movement between Gaza and Egypt, especially as other crossings remain restricted. The closure has worsened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, limiting access to food and medical supplies. Negotiations are ongoing, but details about timelines and terms are still unclear.
