Israel has announced a limited reopening of the Rafah Crossing, based on former President Trump's peace plan. According to the Prime Minister's Office, the crossing will initially only allow pedestrian traffic and will be subject to Israeli inspection. The reopening is conditional on the return of living hostages and Hamas's full effort to locate and return the remains of deceased hostages. Currently, the IDF is conducting an operation to locate the remains of Master-Sgt. Ran Gvili. The Rafah Crossing will open after the completion of this operation, as agreed upon with the US. The Israeli government has stated its commitment to recovering Gvili's remains for burial.
