Netanyahu's Office: Israel won't leave Philadelphi Corridor

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu states that the report by Reuters news agency, claiming that Israel is discussing the possibility of withdrawing from the Philadelphi Corridor on the border between Gaza and Egypt "is completely fake."

"The Prime Minister insists that Israel will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor. This is precisely what he instructed the negotiating teams to convey, made clear to US representatives this week, and informed the cabinet about last night," said the official statement from Netanyahu's office.
