Israel seeks ‘more exits than entries’ at Gaza’s Rafah as Egypt objects
AI Summary
As Israel prepares to partially reopen the Rafah border crossing with Gaza, a dispute has arisen with Egypt over the number of Palestinians allowed to enter and exit. Israel is reportedly seeking a system where more people leave Gaza than enter, while Egypt insists on an equal ratio, fearing a permanent reduction of Gaza's population. The crossing, tentatively scheduled to reopen on Sunday, is intended to allow Palestinians to seek medical care, reunite with family, or pursue education. Reports also indicate that Israel plans to implement a "remote control" surveillance mechanism, with remote screenings for those exiting Gaza and physical screenings for those entering. The situation raises concerns about potential population displacement and control over movement in and out of the region.
