Israeli forces are going to take over the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing in the next few hours, according to a CNN political and global affairs analyst, citing two sources. Earlier, the Israeli military called on Palestinians living in parts of eastern Rafah to “evacuate immediately.” During nearly seven months of war, more than 1 million Palestinians have fled to the southern city.
This comes after Hamas said it accepted a ceasefire deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar, according to Ismail Haniyeh, the head of its political wing. The negotiations on this proposed deal will resume Tuesday, according to the Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A senior Israeli and a US official said Hamas agreed to a different proposal than one Israel helped craft.
