Rafah Crossing Reopens as Phase Two of USA-Brokered Ceasefire Begins

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt entered a trial reopening phase as part of the second stage of a ceasefire agreement brokered by USA.The passage will initially facilitate the movement of sick and wounded Palestinians under the management of a Palestinian technocratic committee led by Ali Shaath and monitored by EU observers.This development follows the return of the remains of Ran Gvili, the final hostage accounted for by Benjamin Netanyahu, and coincides with the peace initiative recently launched by Donald Trump.
