The Rafah crossing will open in the next few days to let Gaza residents cross into Egypt, Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli military’s arm that oversees aid flows, said on Wednesday.

The arrangement, which has security clearance from Israel, will be coordinated with Egypt under the supervision of the European Union mission, similar to the mechanism that operated in January 2025,(COGAT) said.
