The Palestinian Authority informed Israel Sunday afternoon that would not participate in the ceremony to handover the Gaza Strip, set to take place shortly at the Erez terminal crossing.

Security officials did not rule out the possibility that the decisioncould be linked to Israel's resolution Sunday to leave Gaza synagogues intact.
