Report: Progress made on potential reopening of Rafah crossing
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLebanon’s Al Akhbar daily reports that negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal have seen progress on reopening the Rafah Border Crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
Egypt and Palestinians will run the key passageway, according to the reported non-final understanding, though with Israeli presence.
The report says that in the first stage, sick Gazans will be allowed to leave the Strip for medical treatment.
Israel has demanded control over the crossing to prevent Hamas from re-arming.
