military.com

Israel will reopen the Rafah border crossing with Egypt for pedestrian traffic starting Sunday. This move is part of a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire plan. The crossing, Gaza's main gateway, will allow limited movement of people, with both Israel and Egypt vetting individuals. EU border agents will supervise the crossing. The Rafah crossing has been largely closed since May 2024. Its reopening follows the recovery of the last hostage's remains and is a step in the second phase of the ceasefire agreement.
