US says Rafah border crossing closed due to ‘security circumstance’
“Our understanding is that given a security circumstance that brought the border closing, Rafah border crossing remains closed today,” State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters on Wednesday.
“But this is something that we are continuing to work with, in partnership with the government of Egypt and the government of Israel,” he said.
Patel said the US expects the border crossing will be reopened at “regular intervals” to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and foreign nationals and others to depart once “security circumstances” are resolved.
