00:00Hamas has accused Israel of a blatant violation of the agreed operating mechanisms for the Rafah crossing under the current
00:08ceasefire deal.
00:09In a statement, the group said Israel subjected Palestinians returning to Gaza to physical and psychological abuse
00:17and harsh interrogations despite the crossing reopening in both directions.
00:25Hamas also claimed Israel failed to respect daily travel quotas, putting thousands of patients seeking medical treatment abroad at risk.
00:33It urged mediators to intervene and compel Israel to open the crossing in accordance with international humanitarian law.
00:41Israel said about 320 patients and their escorts have left Gaza to Rafah over the past two weeks, with a
00:49similar number entering the enclave.
00:52The Rafah crossing had been mostly shut since Israeli forces seized it in May 2024
00:57and resumed limited operations early February under the latest ceasefire agreement.
