    Gaza: Rafah crossing reopens under Israeli restrictions - The Latest
    Feb 3 2026
    A small number of Palestinians from Gaza have started crossing into Egypt for medical treatment after Israel allowed a limited reopening of the Rafah border crossing. It had been largely closed since Israeli troops seized it in May 2024, cutting off a critical lifeline for those in Gaza. About 20,000 Palestinians needing medical care hope to leave Gaza using the crossing, but only a handful have been allowed through so far. The reopening of Rafah is seen as a key step in the US-brokered ceasefire agreement as it moves into its second phase.

So what have we learned from the newly released files and what happens next? Lucy Hough speaks to columnist and host of Politics Weekly America, Jonathan Freedland..
