An unnamed “senior political source” says that Israel’s negotiating team in Qatar has received last-minute demands from Hamas regarding the so-called Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border.
According to the source, the demands go against the maps that were approved by the Israel cabinet and the American mediators over the course of the negotiations.
The official says that Israel is opposed to making any changes to these maps.
According to the reported terms of the deal, Israel is to retain control of the Philadelphi Corridor in the first phase of the agreement, though its deployment there may be diluted.
