Israel says Rafah crossing won’t be opened until further notice

# The Israeli prime minister’s office says that Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Rafah crossing to remain closed until further notice. It says the crossing’s opening will be considered based on how Hamas fulfils its part in returning the deceased hostages and implementing the agreed-upon framework. The Palestinian embassy in Egypt earlier announced that the border crossing between Gaza and Egypt would reopen on Monday for Palestinians seeking to return to Gaza, but it’s unclear whether this will continue as planned.
