Defense Minister Amir Peretz ordered the closure of the Rafah Crossing on Thursday afternoon in order to prevent Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh from returning to the Gaza Strip.

Defense officials said that Haniyeh was said to be carrying 35 million US dollars which were to be brought into the Gaza Strip to fund Hamas activities.
