General reporters learned on the 9th local time that the Egyptian-European joint mechanism will temporarily be responsible for managing the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing.

According to the Gaza ceasefire agreement agreed by all parties in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, that day, the Rafah port will open within 72 hours after the ceasefire takes effect. Earlier in the day, Egypt said that the Gaza ceasefire agreement had taken effect at 12:00 on the 9th. But the Israeli Prime Minister's Office said the agreement would take effect after formal approval at a cabinet meeting later that day. (General reporter Wu Aimin)
