Egypt seeks agreement on Gaza aid before allowing foreign departures, say officials; Temporary travel corridor proposed for Palestinians to Southern Gaza

Awaiting Egypt’s approval are Palestinians with dual citizenship at the Rafah border crossing. Egyptian authorities insist on reaching a deal regarding aid delivery to Gaza before permitting these individuals to exit, according to officials. This development is widely seen as a critical step in enhancing the geopolitical stability in the region.
