Rafah crossing to remain closed until further notice

TEHRAN, Oct. 18 (MNA) – The Rafah crossing on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip will remain closed "until further notice," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Prime Minister Netanyahu said the Rafah crossing will not be opened until further notice. Its reopening will be considered based on how Hamas fulfills its part in returning the hostages’ remains and implementing the agreed-upon framework," Netanyahu's office said, according to TASS.

However, Hamas resistance movement said on Saturday night that it will hand over two more bodies of Israeli captives in the coming hours.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Embassy in Cairo said earlier on Saturday that the Rafah crossing on the border between Egypt and the Palestinian Gaza Strip would reopen on October 20.
