Israel says Rafah Crossing to reopen when IDF finishes current search for last hostage body

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announces that Israel will reopen the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt after it completes a military operation launched Sunday to recover the body of the last deceased hostage, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili.

Netanyahu’s office says in a statement that the opening of the only crossing between Egypt and Gaza was conditioned “on the return of all living hostages and on Hamas making a 100% effort to locate and return all slain hostages.”
