Selling Israeli gas to Egypt can build economic interdependence, warm diplomatic ties, and reduce the likelihood of war while expanding regional cooperation.
In a statement Thursday, COGAT the Israeli Defense Ministry agency overseeing civil affairs in the Palestinian territories said the crossing would open only for the movement of people once Israel and Egypt complete preparations. "It should be emphasized that humanitarian aid will not pass through the Rafah Crossing. This was never agreed upon at any stage," it said, adding that "aid continues to enter the Gaza Strip" through other crossings.
