Israel has agreed to a limited reopening of the Rafah crossing for pedestrian passage only, subject to a full Israeli inspection mechanism, the Prime Minister's Office said Sunday evening in a statement.

According to the statement, the move is part of a 20-point plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The reopening of the crossing would be conditioned on the return of all living hostages and on what the statement described as a 100 percent effort by Hamas to locate and return all deceased.
