Israel extends EU mission in Rafah
Israel has agreed to extend the operations of the European Union missions in the Palestinian territories until June 2027. The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs expressed her welcome for this step, which comes after months of diplomatic negotiations. The two missions include: the Border Support Mission at Rafah Crossing (EUBAM Rafah), established in 2005, which has been undergoing temporary redeployment procedures since 2025 to support Palestinian border management. Its goals are to improve the security and efficiency of crossing points and to enhance stability. Additionally, there is the Civil Police Support Mission (EUPOL COPPS) focused on strengthening Palestinian justice and law enforcement institutions. This extension aims to support security and stability efforts in the Gaza Strip, with both missions continuing as part of the EU’s strategies to bolster Palestinian security and civil institutions in the region.
