Israel Announces Limited Gaza Border Reopening Amid Ongoing Tensions

TL;DR Summary
Israel plans to open the Rafah crossing to allow Gazans to leave via Egypt, supporting the current ceasefire with Hamas, though Egypt denies coordination. The crossing has been mostly closed since May 2024, with limited evacuations of critically ill Palestinians. The reopening is linked to negotiations over hostage returns and the broader Gaza conflict, which has resulted in over 70,000 deaths.
