Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel will maintain its presence in the Philadelphi corridor, a strategic strip of land on the Gaza-Egypt border, until there are assurances it cannot be used as a supply line for Hamas. This stance is pivotal to Israel's three primary war objectives: the destruction of Hamas, the release of all hostages, and ensuring Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel. Netanyahu's firm position on retaining open-ended control over this border area has emerged as a significant hurdle in the ongoing ceasefire negotiations and efforts to secure a hostage release. The Israeli leader's demands underscore the complexities of achieving peace in the region, with the control of the Philadelphi corridor being central to Israel's security strategy.
