Egypt and Hamas Discuss Rafah Crossing Amid Ceasefire Efforts

Egypt is mediating a ceasefire-prisoner swap deal between Israel and Hamas, proposing a committee to oversee a 60-day transition. The deal includes Israel supervising the Rafah Crossing via security cameras in exchange for allowing merchandise through. Disagreements persist over security arrangements, particularly Israel's unilateral actions along the Philadelphi Corridor. Hamas shows flexibility, agreeing not to rule Gaza or influence Rafah operations during the transition, and will provide a list of hostages for a prisoner swap. Humanitarian aid will also enter Gaza through Rafah.
