#PhiladelphiCorridor

#Gaza

For all of #Netanyahu's claims about how important the #PhiladelphiCorridor is (probably is), he didn't mention that he was the Prime Minister for much of the time since Israel withdrew from #Gaza in 2005. Terrorists armed during his 16 years as Prime Minister.

#BennyGantz criticizes #Netanyahu, saying #Israel doesn't need to keep troops in the #PhiladelphiCorridor, the border area in South #Gaza for security reasons.

#Gantz urged Netanyahu for a hostage deal and said there is a plan to block underground #Hamas tunnels.

But Netanyahu has not promoted that, choosing instead to use the border as a ruse.

Gantz, who quit Netanyahu's war cabinet in June, said #Iran, not #Philadelphi corridor, was Israel's main existential threat.

#IsraeliPM #Netanyahu says Recovering #Hostages not a Priority, Occupies #PhiladelphiCorridor Instead

And to add to the news about the deaths of more Israelis in Gaza, we have this infuriating report about where our government's priorities lie.

I agree that we need to cut off Hamas' supply lines. At the same time, if the security establishment is comfortable they can still do this without insisting on controlling the #PhiladelphiCorridor why make this a deal-breaker? 🤬

#Egypt is showing flexibility on Israeli troops remaining in #PhiladelphiCorridor

Egypt is privately moving towards allowing Israeli soldiers to remain in a corridor that runs along its border with the Gaza Strip, despite public declarations against it.

Israel’s Seizure of #Gaza Border Zone Strains Ties With Egypt

Israel defied ominous Egyptian warnings & took control of the #PhiladelphiCorridor, but the reaction from #Egypt, which wants to maintain its #security cooperation with #Israel, has been muted.
