> ❗️Israel to limit Palestinian entries at Rafah Border Crossing ahead of reopening

Israel plans to limit the number of Palestinians entering Gaza through the border crossing with Egypt to ensure that more people leave than enter, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters ahead of the crossing’s expected reopening next week.

The sources said it remains unclear how Israel will enforce limits on Palestinians entering from Egypt or what the target ratio of exits to entries will be. They also said Israel also plans to establish a military checkpoint inside Gaza near the border, where all Palestinians entering or leaving would undergo Israeli security checks.

Two additional sources confirmed that Israeli officials have insisted on the checkpoint to screen movement in and out of Gaza.
