On Monday, the offices of Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and Hamas all dismissed rumors that there would be a brief lull in hostilities in Gaza to allow for the entry and exit of foreigners at the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt.
According to a statement from Netanyahu’s office, “there is currently no ceasefire and humanitarian aid in Gaza in exchange for removing foreigners.”
Izzat El Reshiq, a representative of Hamas, also claimed that rumors concerning the opening of the Rafah border crossing or a brief ceasefire were untrue, according to CBS.
