Israeli forces paving new road along Philadelphi corridor: Report
Video footage shows Israeli forces paving a road along southern Gaza’s Philadelphi corridor, which Prime Minister Netanyahu has pushed to be kept under Israel’s control.
The footage, shared by Israeli news site Serugim and verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency, shows numerous Israeli bulldozers and heavy construction equipment driving through the road under construction by night.
The road is to serve as a quick access route for Israeli forces to key strategic areas, such as the Egyptian border, reports Serugim.
As we’ve been reporting, Israel’s security role at the Philadelphi corridor has become a major hurdle in ceasefire negotiations. Netanyahu is pushing for Israel to retain open-ended security control of the corridor, while Hamas demands Israel’s full withdrawal.
Egyptian army chief visits Gaza border
The Egyptian army’s chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ahmed Fathy Khalifa, has made an unexpected trip to the border with Gaza to review security measures, according to an army spokesperson cited by Egyptian state television.
Egypt and Gaza share a 12km-long (7.5-mile-long) border, divided by a 100-metre-wide (328ft-wide) buffer zone called the Philadelphi Corridor.
Egypt views a prolonged Israeli presence along the corridor, which Netanyahu has insisted on, as a violation of the Camp David Accords.
Hamas also opposes Israeli security control of the corridor, making it a key sticking point in ceasefire negotiations.
What was Netanyahu’s map and ‘plan for Gaza’ all about?

On Monday, Netanyahu appeared on TV to talk about the war on Gaza.
He stood in front of a map with bombs drawn on Gaza, interspersed with cartoon “masked men”.
Netanyahu’s presentation suggested partitioning Gaza into three parts.
He wants to keep the entire area north of the Netzarim Corridor in ruins. The corridor established by Israel cuts across the Strip south of Gaza City. There would be no reconstruction in the area, and people would not be allowed to go back to their homes.
