Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the essential role of maintaining an Israeli presence along the Philadelphi corridor, describing it as 'the oxygen and armament of Hamas.' His assertion reflects ongoing concerns over preventing Hamas from rearming via underground tunnels that would jeopardize Israeli security and stability in the region.
Hamas aims to leverage the hostage situation by demanding an end to the war and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza in exchange for hostages. These negotiations reveal the complex political dynamics at play, particularly as Hamas seeks to stabilize its position while facing strong Israeli military and political pressure.
