Israel aims to ensure more Palestinians are let out of Gaza than back in
Israel plans a military checkpoint inside Gaza to screen movement and restrict entry, aiming for more Palestinians to leave than enter under a U.S.-backed plan.
- On Jan 23, Israel plans to limit entries at the Rafah Border Crossing to ensure more Palestinians leave Gaza than enter, ahead of the crossing's expected opening next week.
- Earlier this month, Washington said President Donald Trump's plan entered its second phase with Israel expected to withdraw troops and Hamas to yield administrative control after initially retaining 53% of Gaza.
- More than 2 million Gaza residents rely on the Rafah Border Crossing, which Israel plans to staff with PA-affiliated personnel and EU monitors while establishing a military checkpoint inside Gaza near the border.
- Requests for comment to the prime minister's office, Israel's military and the U.S. Embassy went unanswered as Palestinians remain sensitive to suggestions they could be barred from returning, while Israeli officials deny forced transfers.
- Uncertainty about screening and enforcement raises humanitarian and political questions, as anonymous sources said Israel’s entry limits are unclear and the Israeli government ties opening to an officer’s remains.
