Quick takeaways
- The Rafa crossing in the Sinai Peninsula is the only land access into and out of the Gaza Strip that is not controlled by the Israeli military, playing a crucial role in allowing Gazans to travel and connect with the world despite being subject to closures and security risks.
- Access to the Rafa crossing is restricted to certain individuals, particularly those with foreign nationalities, creating an open-air prison-like situation for Palestinians without foreign citizenship and making it unlikely for them to be granted easy passage even in diplomatic negotiations.

The Rough Crossing: The Only Land Access to Gaza
The Rafa crossing in the Sinai Peninsula is the only land access into and out of the Gaza Strip that is not controlled by the Israeli military. It plays a crucial role in allowing Gazans to travel and connect with the world. The crossing is subject to closures during times of war and is affected by the security situation in Gaza. Israel has also targeted the crossing in previous conflicts. The recent war has led to a complete blockade on Gaza, with the crossing being closely monitored.
