Egypt prepares for an exodus of Gazans that Israel denies planning. Cairo advances with works on a walled plot next to the border with the Palestinian strip in view of the possible arrival of tens of thousands of displaced people if Israeli troops occupy Rafah.

Israel, on the one hand, insists that it has no intention of expelling Palestinian refugees to the neighboring country. On the other hand, he affirms that he will coordinate his plans to move the population gathered in Rafah with the Egyptian authorities.
