Netanyahu and Defense Minister deny plans to reopen Erez Crossing into Gaza.
Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Katz issued a joint statement denying any directive to reopen the Erez Crossing for goods into Gaza, citing Israel's policy of no reconstruction before Hamas disarmament and Gaza demilitarization. This followed Hebrew media reports that the crossing would reopen on September 1 under U.S. pressure, and Israel's Deputy Ambassador to the UN had told the Security Council it would reopen in September. COGAT sources told the Jerusalem Post that preparations to open the crossing exist but require final approval.
