AI Summary:
Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed that a number of Palestinians would enter Egypt on Saturday via the Rafah crossing, which has been shut to human traffic since May 2024. It will initially be opened for 50 injured fighters and 50 wounded civilians, along with the people escorting them. People will only be allowed to travel in one direction, from Gaza to Egypt, for the time being, officials have said. Hundreds of Egyptians attended a demonstration near the Rafah crossing on Friday to protest against a plan floated by US President Donald Trump to move Palestinians from the territory to Egypt and Jordan. Last week, Trump proposed a Plan to “clean out” Gaza Strip, and for Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians.
