The United States Pressures Israel to Expand the Operation of the Rafah Crossing

SadaNews - The Haaretz newspaper, citing an informed source, reported that the U.S. administration is intensifying its pressure on Israel to expand the operation of the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip, so that it is not limited to a small number of pedestrians, but also includes the entry of goods and humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza.

According to the source, Washington sees that the continuation of the current situation hinders the delivery of aid and exacerbates the humanitarian crisis, which drives it to demand that Israel open the way for broader movement through the crossing.

In the same context, GHF, the company that previously secured U.S. aid centers in Gaza, is making intensive contacts aimed at obtaining approval to secure the operation of the Rafah crossing, ensuring that aid reaches in an organized and safe manner.
