Cairo/Gaza/Jerusalem | Israel must take full control of the Gaza Strip border corridor with Egypt to ensure a “demilitarisation” of the area, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, as Israel’s military pushed deeper into central and southern Gaza.
Speaking at a press conference, Mr Netanyahu said: “The Philadelphi Corridor – or to put it more correctly, the southern closing point (of Gaza) – must be in our hands. It must be shut. It is clear that any other arrangement would not ensure the demilitarisation that we seek.”
