A senior Egyptian official has rejected claims from Israeli media that Egypt and Israel have coordinated to open the Rafah crossing for Gazans to enter Egypt. The official, speaking to Egypt's Government Media Authority, emphasized that no such agreement exists and stated that any coordination would involve movement in both directions, not just the exit of Gazans. This denial follows a report by Channel 12 News, which alleged that Israel had announced the crossing's imminent opening as part of a ceasefire arrangement.
