Gaza ceasefire phase two hit by Israel-Jordan border closure

The Allenby crossing between Jordan and Gaza is set to reopen as the next phase of the ceasefire is due to begin, but Israel has refused to open it, citing internal political and security reasons. The United States is pressuring both Israel and Hamas to proceed with phase two of the ceasefire plan. However, as FRANCE 24's Noga Tarnopolsky notes, Israel’s reluctance means it is still unclear when the crossing will actually reopen.
