‘Israel’ says Rafah crossing to remain closed “until further notice”

The office of ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that the Rafah crossing would reopen only after Hamas hands over the bodies of all deceased captives still held in Gaza.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu has directed that the Rafah crossing remain closed until further notice," the statement read.

"Its reopening will be considered based on how Hamas fulfills its obligations to return the hostages and the bodies of the deceased, and to implement the agreed-upon terms" of the ceasefire, the office added.
