Disagreements over Gaza’s Philadelphi Corridor ‘solvable’ — report

Disagreements between Israel, Hamas, and Egypt over the future of the Philadelphi Corridor along the Egypt-Gaza border are “solvable,” unnamed senior Israeli officials tell the Kan public broadcaster.

There are ongoing discussions in Cairo on the matter, and a solution is possible based on an American proposal, the officials say.

Israel has been said to demand to remain indefinitely in the Philadelphi Corridor between Egypt and Gaza.

But Israeli and other sources have said that Israel’s security chiefs believe withdrawing from the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza border for the six weeks of a potential ceasefire-hostage deal’s first phase would not enable Hamas to significantly rearm, and that certain unspecified procedures along the border could compensate for an Israeli withdrawal from the border area.
