AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Israel and Egypt are coordinating a limited reopening of the Rafah Crossing between Egypt and Gaza. A test reopening occurred on Sunday, with public access scheduled to begin Monday morning. The crossing will operate with restrictions, allowing approximately 150 people per day to cross, transported in organized groups and cleared by Israeli intelligence. Return to Gaza is initially limited to residents who left during the war, subject to Israeli security clearance. The reopening is part of President Trump's 20-point peace plan and is contingent on the return of all living hostages and the remains of deceased hostages. Israel will provide security in coordination with Egypt and under EU supervision.
