"Egypt Demands Israeli Withdrawal for Rafah Crossing Reopening"

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stated that the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza cannot reopen unless Israel relinquishes control to Palestinian authorities. This comes after Israel seized the Gaza-Egypt border during its offensive against Hamas. The crossing is vital for aid deliveries and the 2.3 million residents of Gaza. Shoukry emphasized the importance of the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty and called for both Hamas and Israel to accept a U.S.-proposed Gaza ceasefire.

Navigating the Challenges of Gaza's Border Crossings

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt serves as a vital lifeline for the two million residents of Gaza, allowing them access to essential resources and connections to the outside world. However, the border operates selectively and is not open 24/7 due to restrictions imposed by Israel and Egypt. Over the years, the border has seen shifts, closures, and the construction of illicit tunnels. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, the Rafah border plays a crucial role in evacuations and the delivery of humanitarian aid.

"Rafah Border Closed, Gaza Aid Mounts Amid Israel-Hamas War"

The Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza remains closed, despite calls from various sources, including United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres, to open it and allow over 200 trucks loaded with aid to enter Gaza. Issues with aid inspections and concerns about potential support for Hamas are among the sticking points. Israeli airstrikes near the border and the potential for American citizens in Gaza to bring additional family members when they exit also contribute to the delay. Meanwhile, Egypt has allowed pro-Palestinian protests to take place across the country, expressing outrage over Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
