Al-Sisi: Gaza relief through the Rafah crossing is not easy. Al-Scii: "Egypt never closed the crossing," but added, "But in order to provide assistance in situations of fighting, we must be careful that no problem occurs" Negotiations are currently taking place between the Palestinian factions and Israel, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States.

US President Joe Biden said he expected a truce to occur in the Gaza Strip next Monday, about 3 months after the completion of a truce.
