According to CCTV, Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said in a statement on Friday that the Rafah Border Crossing will be opened to pedestrian traffic starting Sunday.

Under the statement, entry to and exit from the Gaza Strip will be permitted on the condition that individuals undergo prior security screening by Israel and under the supervision of a European Union (EU) mission.

As part of security protocols, it was noted that in addition to the initial identification and screening to be conducted by the EU mission, an “additional screening and identification process” will also be carried out in a special corridor operated by the Israeli military.
