I'm kinda surprised they're reopening the Rafah crossing after nearly two years 
. I mean, I get that it's a step forward in the ceasefire plan, but is it gonna make a huge difference in addressing the underlying issues that led to this conflict in the first place? 
I also think it's interesting that both Israel and Egypt will be vetting individuals for exit and entry through the crossing. That makes sense, given their security concerns, but I wonder if they've thought this one through - what about the humanitarian crisis that's been ongoing in Gaza? Won't this just create more of a bottleneck situation?
And let's not forget about Hamas' reaction to this announcement... will it really be enough to appease them, or is it just a temporary measure to get some international attention? I'm not saying it can't be helpful, but we need to keep an eye on the bigger picture here.
On a more serious note, 492 Palestinian casualties since the ceasefire began in October? That's just staggering... and with the recent surge in deadly strikes, I fear this might get out of hand if they don't monitor the situation closely.

after nearly 2 yrs of closure... this is a big deal, especially with trump's ceasefire plan in mind 
. but let's not get too hyped just yet... i'm still skeptical about the motives behind this move 
it's gonna be a delicate situation, that's for sure 
. on one hand, reopening the crossing will definitely alleviate the humanitarian crisis in gaza, but on the other hand, how are they planning to deal with all those people trying to leave or return? 
it's a recipe for disaster if not managed properly 
. and what about the security risks? overcrowding at the crossing could lead to some serious problems 
... we'll just have to wait and see how this plays out
