Israel is negotiating with Egypt to enhance security measures along the Philadelphi Corridor, a border area near Gaza, to prevent Hamas from smuggling weapons and people. Israel's requests include the installation of sensors, direct notifications, and the ability to deploy surveillance drones in response to any detected smuggling activity. These efforts aim to dismantle Hamas' underground tunnel network used for smuggling.

"Exploring Israel's Strategic Interest in the Philadelphi Corridor Border Zone"

Israel, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is seeking control over the Philadelphi Corridor, a border zone between Gaza and Egypt, to ensure security and prevent weapon smuggling. This move signals an ongoing conflict with Gaza, with potential implications for a de facto reoccupation. Egypt, which currently controls the corridor, and Hamas oppose Israel's control, while the US disagrees with any reduction of Gaza's geographic limits. The situation reflects Israel's broader security concerns and territorial policies, which have historically led to increased resistance in the region.
