EU to Resume Monitoring Gaza's Rafah Crossing Next Month.

The European Union has decided to resume monitoring the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt, aiming to allow injured individuals to leave Gaza for medical care. This move comes after the crossing, a key source of tension between Israel, Palestinian authorities, and Egypt, was shut down by Israeli forces in May 2024. The EU previously helped run the crossing before Hamas took control in 2007. Discussions between Israel, the US, and the EU have been ongoing since 2024 regarding control of the crossing, with recent talks indicating a potential role for the Palestinian Authority, the EU, and a private US security company in its administration.
