Israel Expects Rafah Border Crossing to Open Sunday

There have been divergent reports on when the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt will be opened. But on Thursday, Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar says it is likely to happen on Sunday.

The border crossing in Rafah is likely to be opened on Sunday. We are working on all necessary preparations, says Sa'ar at a press conference in Naples in Italy, writes Ansa.

According to the Foreign Minister, the work is being coordinated together with the EU's border monitoring mission EUBAM.

Currently, aid is being referred to the passages between Israel and Gaza, according to the Israeli authority Cogat. This means a significant detour and extra bureaucracy for aid shipments arriving in Egypt.
