As the conflict between Israel and Hamas enters its first week, the Israeli Defense Forces prepare for a ground invasion of Gaza.
The border crossing between Gaza and Rafah, Egypt—a priority for the U.S. as it seeks to evacuate its citizens—will be reopened, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said after his meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi.
“We have put in place, Egypt has put in place a lot of material support for people in Gaza, and Rafah will be reopened,” Blinken told reporters in Cairo. “We are putting into place—with the United Nations, with Egypt, with Israel, with others—the mechanism by which to get the assistance in and to get it to the people who need it.”
