Rafah border crossing to open on Sunday, says 'Israel'

• The Rafah border crossing will reopen Sunday for limited movement of people in both directions.
• All returning Palestinians will face stringent 'Israeli' security checks, with oversight from European monitors.

'Israel’s' government coordinator announced on Friday that a formula has been reached to reopen the Rafah border crossing starting Sunday for a limited flow of people in both directions.

Entry and exit will follow strict coordination with Egyptian authorities and require direct security approval from 'Israeli' forces. 

European personnel will supervise operations to ensure compliance with agreed-upon rules and oversight mechanisms, including engagement with all relevant parties.

Return of displaced Palestinians

The arrangements will allow Palestinians who left Gaza during the war to return from Egypt. However, all returnees will undergo strict 'Israeli' security screenings.

Authorities say the measures are aimed at preventing entry of individuals who may pose security threats.

Role of the United States

The reopening follows diplomatic pressure from the United States, which has pushed for logistical solutions to ease humanitarian pressures while maintaining 'Israeli' security priorities.

According to reports, Washington and Cairo played a key role in facilitating the agreement, which includes international oversight to monitor the crossing.
