Netanyahu: No opening of Rafah crossing before recovering the body of the last 'Israeli' prisoner

Netanyahu's recent statements contradict what was previously circulated regarding the imminent opening of Rafah crossing

The Prime Minister of the Occupation, Benjamin Netanyahu, stated that his government is considering setting a deadline for Hamas to disarm.

Netanyahu clarified, during a security assessment he conducted upon his return from the United States, that there are understandings with the American administration stipulating not to reopen Rafah crossing except after recovering the body of the remaining 'Israeli' prisoner in Gaza, 'Ran Guili'.

The first phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza entered into force on October 10, 2025, following indirect negotiations between Hamas and the Occupation, sponsored by Egypt, Qatar, the United States, and Turkey, according to a proposal presented by US President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu's recent statements contradict what was previously circulated regarding the imminent opening of Rafah crossing in the coming days, raising questions about the fate of the calm and the parties' commitment to its terms.
