Media reports suggest that the border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt is likely to be opened on Wednesday, paving the way for the first group of the wounded to leave for treatment, unless Israel retracts its decision. Meanwhile, Washington has indicated that the crossing may be opened by the end of this week, according to 'Times of Israel'. After the Israeli army announced on Monday that it had recovered the last remains of a hostage, Israeli police officer Ran Gvilli, a key condition in the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza has been met. Residents of the devastated Strip are awaiting the announcement of the opening of the Rafah land crossing, especially given the thousands of patients and injured individuals in need of immediate medical care.
