Summary
The 2005 agreement between the Palestinian Authority and Israel, facilitated by the US and the European Union, under which the Rafah Crossing would open with a third party on site, as described in Chapter 6 of Palestine: A Socialist Introduction (Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, lines 1294-1302).
Details
- The crossing would notify the Israeli government of the passage of travellers, with Israel reserving a right to object to the passage of specific individuals (lines 1298-1302).
