Israel to Reopen Gaza Crossing After Hostage Search Ends

Israel has agreed to allow the limited reopening of a critical border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. The Rafah crossing will reopen after Israel finishes its search for the remains of the last known hostage. Israeli forces recovered the body of police officer Ran Gvili on Monday. The crossing is a major route for people and aid. Its closure has severely restricted movement in and out of the territory. Israeli authorities stated the reopening is conditional and will be for limited purposes. They did not specify an exact timeline.
