"Donald Trump's plan for the US to "take over" and "own" Gaza, resettling its population in the process, is not going to happen."

"The plan is not about to be implemented."

"I have news for you - we aren't taking over Gaza."

"Trump could be all bluster, but it would be unwise to write off his words or quietly hope that they don't materialize."

Will Israel Take Control of Gaza City?

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened on Monday for limited pedestrian traffic after being largely closed since Israeli forces seized control in May 2024. Israel and Egypt are expected to impose caps on the number of travelers, with initial reports indicating 50 Palestinians would cross in each direction on the first day.

More than 18,500 Palestinians, including 4,000 children, are on the list of patients awaiting medical evacuation from Gaza, according to the United Nations. Gaza's healthcare system has been largely destroyed during the war, with Israel destroying the territory's only specialized cancer treatment hospital in March 2025.

The European Union Border Assistance Mission will administer the Palestinian side of the crossing, with Israeli authorities conducting security checks on all Palestinians entering Gaza. Palestinians exiting will be monitored remotely by Israeli officials using facial recognition software and video cameras.

Palestinian officials estimate about 100,000 Palestinians fled Gaza during the first nine months of the war, with many paying bribes to secure permission to leave. The closure of Rafah after May 2024 cut off the main route for wounded and sick Palestinians seeking medical care outside the territory.

The reopening of the Rafah crossing is a key requirement under the first phase of the US-brokered ceasefire that took effect in October 2025. The second phase calls for Hamas to disarm, deployment of an international security force and steps to begin rebuilding Gaza.

Violence continued in Gaza despite the ceasefire, with Israeli strikes on Saturday killing at least 26 people, according to Gaza health authorities. Israel said the strikes targeted militants and weapons facilities in response to what it called a Hamas violation of the truce in Rafah.
