The Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced on Saturday night that the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip will not reopen until further notice.
Its opening will be under consideration in accordance with how Hamas implements its part in the return of the deceased hostages and the implementation of the agreed framework, according to the statement.
Earlier in the day, the Palestinian Embassy in Cairo announced that the Rafah border crossing will reopen on Monday to allow Palestinians residing in Egypt who wish to return to Gaza to pass.
According to the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, which went into effect on Oct 10, Israel was expected to reopen the Rafah crossing on Wednesday. Israeli authorities made their first postponement announcement on Tuesday, citing Hamas' failure to deliver the remains of all detained individuals by the agreed deadline.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said early Saturday in a statement that it had received the body of the 10th deceased Israeli hostage held in Gaza from Hamas, apart from all the remaining 20 living hostages. On Saturday evening, the IDF updated that it received the bodies of two more deceased Israeli hostages.
