US EditionIsrael announces limited reopening of Rafah Crossing under Trump’s 20-point plan
Israel will reopen the Rafah Crossing for pedestrian passage following a military operation to recover the last hostage's remains, with strict Israeli inspection and conditions for Hamas compliance.
- Netanyahu's office announced late on Sunday that Israel will reopen Gaza's Rafah crossing for people only after locating the last Israeli hostage's body.
- Because all living hostages must be returned and bodies located, Israel demanded a `100% effort` by Hamas, with all hostages returned except Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, whose remains the Israeli military is retrieving.
- The Rafah Crossing has been under Israeli control since 2024 and is Gaza's main entry point, with three sources last week saying Israel may limit Palestinians entering to favor exits.
- Under the U.S. plan, Israel agreed a limited, inspected reopening, and Washington said the plan entered a second phase this month.
- On Thursday, Ali Shaath, head of a transitional Palestinian committee backed by the U.S., said the Rafah Crossing would open this week, while Egyptian soldiers guarded Rafah on July 4, 2024.
