The Office of the Prime Minister of Israel said Sunday it has agreed to a limited reopening of the Rafah Crossing under President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister’s Office said the crossing would reopen only for pedestrian traffic and would remain subject to a full Israeli inspection process.
The Prime Minister’s Office said the reopening was contingent on the return of all living hostages and what it described as a « 100 percent effort » by Hamas to locate and return the remains of all deceased hostages.
