Bad news, since Hamas' takeover in 05-06, Egypt has had the Rafah crossing almost completely closed; therfore reopening it is almost completely out of the question.
Edit, the article states why: "Security in the area around Rafah is also of concern to Egypt because Sinai has been the site of an Islamist insurgency that flared a decade ago. Hamas, which has run the Gaza Strip since 2007, shares the Islamist ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, a movement outlawed in Egypt."
Don't hold your breath. This article says Egypt is closing their border.
