Prime Minister Netanyahu insists that maintaining a military presence in the Philadelphi Corridor is critical to thwarting Hamas's smuggling operations, framing it as a key aspect of ongoing cease-fire negotiations.
The Philadelphi Corridor, a narrow strip of land along the Gaza-Egypt border measuring around 100 yards in width, is central to the conflict as it facilitates Hamas's logistics.
Hamas firmly opposes any cease-fire agreement that does not stipulate a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, highlighting the intense negotiation challenges surrounding the Philadelphi Corridor.
The corridor's control is not just a tactical military objective for Israel, but a pivotal point influencing broader peace negotiations among regional powers such as Egypt and the U.S.
