Several hundred Egyptians gather in front of the Rafah Border Crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip to protest US President Donald Trump’s controversial proposal that large numbers of Gazans take refuge in Egypt and Jordan.
The protesters wave Palestinian flags and hold photos of Egyptian President Abdel-Fatah el-Sissi, who has rejected Trump’s suggestion, along with signs saying, “We support you.”
The protest comes as the Gaza-Egypt crossing is set to reopen for Palestinian civilians under a hostage-ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that came into effect last week.
The EU said earlier today that it has restarted its civilian mission to monitor the crossing.
