Ceasefire Agreement Reached to Reopen Rafah Border Crossing, Despite Denials

Egypt, Israel, and the U.S. reportedly agreed to a ceasefire in southern Gaza, coinciding with the re-opening of the Rafah border crossing to allow aid and evacuations of foreigners. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denied the agreement, stating that there is currently no truce or humanitarian aid in Gaza in exchange for evacuating foreigners. The duration of the ceasefire is unclear, but the Egyptian sources mentioned it would last for several hours. Aid trucks are still waiting at the border, and the situation remains fluid and unpredictable.
