EU to restart Gaza-Egypt border monitoring mission Wednesday

  • Civilian mission to monitor the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt in support of the ceasefire deal

BRUSSELS: The European Union will Wednesday restart a civilian mission to monitor the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt in support of a ceasefire deal, the bloc’s top diplomat said Monday.
“The EU stands ready to do its part,” Kaja Kallas posted on X after Hamas released a first group of Israeli hostages as part of the US-brokered agreement. “This mission can play an important role in supporting the ceasefire,” she said.
