The EU's foreign policy chief on Monday welcomed the reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt as a "lifeline" for sick and wounded Palestinians in the territory and a step forward in the peace plan.
"The opening of the Rafah crossing marks a concrete and positive step in the peace plan," EU top diplomat Kaja Kallas posted online.
"The EU's civilian mission is on the ground to monitor crossing operations and support Palestinian border guards," she wrote.
