The Jerusalem Post's must-listen news roundup with Shifra Jacobs—the top stories, clear and concise. 

“After months of a ceasefire and demands from humanitarian organizations to open it without obstacles, Israel will beginthe process of partially reopening the Rafah crossing," Al-Ain media reported.

“The Revolutionary Guard is the largest anti-terrorism organization in the world,” a banner that was raised at the Speaker’s podium, the report said. The IRGC flag was also raised.

Only a handful of crossings are expected on Sunday, according to Walla, allowing operators to ensure that all identification screening systems are functioning properly.

The Eurobarometer survey was published on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, asking each country in the European Union on their levels of perceived antisemitism.

Entrance and exit through the crossing will be allowed only through coordination first with Egypt, Army Radio explained on Wednesday. Egypt will then transfer names to the Shin Bet.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denounced the EU's decision to designate the IRGC as terrorists, calling it a "major strategic mistake," a "blatant hypocrisy... selective outrage."

Israel welcomed the move, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar calling it "an important and historic decision."

The visit was billed as a first-of-its-kind parliamentary delegation from North Macedonia to Israel, chaired by Mizrahi with logistical support from the American Jewish Committee (AJC). 

This idea would seem to be an obvious non-starter for how to proceed in Gaza, especially as Israel and the Trump administration want to see Hamas disarmed.
