CAIRO (AP) — The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will stay closed “until further notice,” Israel said Saturday, after the Palestinian Embassy in Egypt said the territory’s sole gateway to the outside world would reopen Monday for people returning to Gaza.

The statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said reopening Rafah would depend on how Hamas fulfills its ceasefire role of returning the remains of all 28 dead hostages. Israel’s foreign ministry earlier said the crossing would likely reopen Sunday.
