Despite expectations the border between Egypt and Gaza could reopen later today to allow humanitarian aid into the coastal enclave, the Rafah crossing is expected to remain shuttered, according to CNN.
The report cites multiple sources, including one familiar with the discussions on the matter between Israel, Egypt and the Unites States, who says the situation is “volatile.”
“I would not put money on those trucks going through tomorrow,” the source is quoted as saying.
