The Israeli government's Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) announced on Sunday that the Rafah border crossing, located on the Gaza border, will remain closed. The council's statement specifies that the decision to close the crossing takes effect immediately. It is expected that this measure will affect Gaza residents who use the crossing for travel. Israeli authorities have not yet announced when the border crossing will reopen. It was previously reported that the Rafah crossing was closed for security reasons.
