开罗—埃及和以色列安全官员表示,随着以色列与哈马斯停火协议的推进,加沙地带与埃及之间的关键拉法边境口岸于周一重新开放,仅允许有限交通通行。
一名参与停火协议执行谈判的埃及官员向美联社表示,口岸运营首日将允许50名巴勒斯坦人双向通行。该官员要求匿名以讨论该问题。
埃及官方媒体和一名以色列官员也证实了口岸重新开放的消息,称目前这一举措至少在很大程度上具有象征意义。双方均不允许大量人员双向流动,也不允许任何货物进入。
加沙卫生官员称,约有2万名需要医疗护理的巴勒斯坦儿童和成年人希望通过该口岸离开饱受摧残的加沙地带。另有数千名身处加沙境外的巴勒斯坦人希望进入并返回家园。

以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡也表示,以色列将允许每天50名患者离开。一名参与谈判的官员在匿名条件下向记者透露,每名患者可由两名亲属陪同,同时每天允许约50名在战争期间离开加沙的人返回。
以色列方面称,其与埃及将对通过口岸的出入境人员进行审查,口岸将由欧盟边境巡逻人员和少量巴勒斯坦人员监督。如果系统运行成功,预计通行人数将随时间增加。
以色列军队于2024年5月控制了拉法口岸,称此举是打击哈马斯武器走私的一部分。2025年初停火期间,该口岸曾短暂开放以撤离医疗患者。以色列此前一直抵制重新开放拉法口岸,但上周最后一名人质遗体在加沙被寻回,为推进口岸开放扫清了障碍。
此次口岸重新开放是去年10月10日生效的美国斡旋停火协议进入第二阶段的关键一步。
战前,拉法是加沙地带人员进出的主要口岸。该地区的其他少数几个口岸均与以色列共享。根据停火协议条款,以色列军队控制着拉法口岸至大多数巴勒斯坦人居住区域之间的区域。
埃及一直担心以色列可能利用该口岸将巴勒斯坦人驱逐出加沙地带,因此反复强调必须允许巴勒斯坦人自由进出加沙。历史上,以色列和埃及都会对申请过境的巴勒斯坦人进行审查。
当前停火协议终止了始于2023年10月7日哈马斯领导的对以色列南部袭击的长达两年多的战争。停火第一阶段要求交换所有被扣押在加沙的人质与以色列关押的数百名巴勒斯坦人,增加急需的人道主义援助,并部分撤离以色列军队。
第二阶段更为复杂,包括组建新的巴勒斯坦管理委员会治理加沙,部署国际安全部队,解除哈马斯武装,并采取措施开始重建工作。
联合国儿童基金会一名官员上周表示,埃及已准备好一批物资,一旦口岸对援助物资开放,即可立即运入加沙。
“我们已准备好物资,”联合国儿童基金会副执行主任泰德·查班说,“我们的优秀工作人员正在当地开展出色工作。如果获得通行许可,我们的计划可以立即启动。”
他补充说,下一阶段不仅需要更多人道主义和商业物资,还需要永久性住房材料和基础设施修复物资。
Gaza’s key Rafah border crossing with Egypt reopens but only on limited basis

Cairo— Gaza’s Rafah border crossing with Egypt reopened on Monday for limited traffic, a key step as the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire moves ahead, according to Egyptian and Israeli security officials.
An Egyptian official said 50 Palestinians would cross in each direction in the first day of the crossing’s operation. The official, involved in talks related the implementation of ceasefire deal, spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss the issue.
State-run Egyptian media and an Israeli official also confirmed the reopening that for now at least is largely symbolic. Few people will be allowed to travel in either direction, and no goods will be allowed to enter.
About 20,000 Palestinian children and adults needing medical care hope to leave devastated Gaza via the crossing, according to Gaza health officials. Thousands of other Palestinians outside the territory hope to enter and return home.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also said that Israel will allow 50 patients a day to leave. An official involved in the discussions, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the diplomatic talks, said each patient would be allowed to travel with two relatives, while some 50 people who left Gaza during the war would be allowed to return each day.
Israel has said it and Egypt will vet people for exit and entry through the crossing, which will be supervised by European Union border patrol agents and a small Palestinian presence. The numbers of travelers is expected to increase over time if the system is successful.
Israeli troops seized the Rafah crossing in May 2024, calling it part of efforts to combat Hamas arms-smuggling. The crossing was briefly opened for the evacuation of medical patients during a ceasefire in early 2025. Israel had resisted reopening the Rafah crossing, but the recovery of the remains of the last hostage in Gaza last week cleared the way to move forward.
The reopening is a key step as last year’s U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement that took effect on Oct. 10 moves into its second phase.
Before the war, Rafah was the main crossing for people moving in and out of Gaza. The territory’s handful of other crossings are all shared with Israel. Under the ceasefire terms, Israel’s military controls the area between the Rafah crossing and the zone where most Palestinians live.
Fearing that Israel could use the crossing to push Palestinians out of the enclave, Egypt has repeatedly said it must be open for them to enter and exit Gaza. Historically, Israel and Egypt have vetted Palestinians applying to cross.
The current ceasefire halted more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas that began with the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. The truce’s first phase called for the exchange of all hostages held in Gaza for hundreds of Palestinians held by Israel, an increase in badly needed humanitarian aid and a partial pullback of Israeli troops.
The second phase is more complicated. It calls for installing the new Palestinian committee to govern Gaza, deploying an international security force, disarming Hamas and taking steps to begin rebuilding.
An official with the United Nation’s children’s agency said last week that there was a backlog of supplies in Egypt ready to move into Gaza whenever the crossing opens to aid traffic.
“We have supplies positioned,” said Ted Chaiban, UNICEF’s deputy executive director. “We have our great staff doing good work on the ground. We have plans that can be activated immediately if access is granted.”
The next phase needs to include bringing not only more humanitarian and commercial supplies but also permanent shelter materials and items to repair infrastructure, he added.
