Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Egypt protested to Israel on Tuesday the map that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used during his press conference the night before, saying that he showed the Philadelphi Corridor as a military zone, in violation of the Camp David accords, reports the Qatari Al-Araby Al-Jadeed.
The outlet also reports that before the press conference, Netanyahu told Cairo that Israel was willing to discuss the future of the Gaza-Egypt border in negotiations on the second phase of a prisoner deal, but Egypt said they would only accept a pledge to withdraw, even if it didn’t happen in the first phase.
Netanyahu is scheduled to discuss the corridor in an English-language press conference tonight at 7 p.m. Israel time.
