Israel is scheduled to reopen the Rafah Crossing to limited pedestrian movement on Sunday, marking the first such opening since the outbreak of the war. The decision was approved by Israel’s political leadership and will be implemented under the terms of the ceasefire framework.

Under the planned arrangement, the crossing will operate in both directions for people only, with no vehicle traffic permitted. Daily quotas will be set for those entering and exiting Gaza, and all travelers will be required to receive prior security clearance.

According to the plan, individuals entering the Gaza Strip will undergo an initial inspection by Egyptian authorities, followed by an additional Israeli security screening conducted in the IDF-controlled buffer area. Those leaving Gaza will be checked by locally approved Gazan personnel, with assistance from a European Union mission.
