A high-ranking "Israeli" military official confirmed on Wednesday that the Rafah border crossing will officially open for pedestrian movement in both directions next Sunday, for the first time since the start of military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Informed sources reported that the occupation army received direct instructions to prepare for all security and civilian consequences of opening the crossing. Accordingly, the Southern Command began the necessary operational preparations to implement the decision on the ground.
The sources indicated that the decision came after intense American pressure and lengthy meetings held by occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with US President Donald Trump's envoys (Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Josh Greenbaum). This announcement followed a meeting of the Ministerial Committee for National Security Affairs (the Cabinet) last week, dedicated to discussing the crossing issue as part of broader arrangements to ensure the stability of the ceasefire.
The office of the occupation Prime Minister had clarified that the approval to open the crossing came within strict parameters, including: Inspection mechanism: Those crossing will undergo a full inspection mechanism by the occupation. Restrictions: The opening is currently limited to the passage of individuals (pedestrians).
The Rafah border crossing will officially open for pedestrian movement in both directions next Sunday.
