Has Benjamin Netanyahu passed the good axis of Philadelphia?
Eviralnews,, after the claim of John Kirby, the spokesperson of the American National Security Council, that Israel has accepted the withdrawal from the corridor or the Philadelphia axis, two other news have been published in this regard, which confirm Kirby's claim. This is while Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Israeli regime, strongly wanted to stay in this corridor.
Yesterday, Kan Israel TV channel announced, citing a senior Israeli official who spoke to this channel anonymously, that Israel agreed to withdraw from this corridor in the second phase of Biden's ceasefire plan.
The second news in this regard was published by the Israel Times website; This website writes, Israeli negotiators have informed the mediators in recent days that the withdrawal of the army from the Philadelphia corridor will take place in the second phase of the agreement on the release of prisoners against the ceasefire based on the Biden plan.
This is while Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, in a press conference two days ago, insisted on his positions regarding the continued presence of the army in Philadelphia and considered the presence in Philadelphia necessary to achieve Israel's main goals in the war.
In this regard, an Arab diplomat has announced today that Mossad chief David Barnaa, during his trip to Doha, informed the country's Prime Minister Mohammad bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani about the regime's agreement to withdraw from the Philadelphia Corridor in the second phase.
It's worth noting that Netanyahu's office has not denied the reports, but claims that the security cabinet has yet to discuss the second phase of the deal.
The United States announced earlier today that Israel had agreed to the latest proposal, which would see Israeli military forces withdraw from heavily populated areas along the Philadelphia corridor during the first, six-week phase of the deal. The statements of the spokespersons of the Biden government leave open the possibility of Israeli forces remaining in other parts of this corridor that are not adjacent to the densely populated areas of the border between Egypt and Gaza.
After US President Joe Biden said on Sunday that he was close to making a final offer to the parties by the end of the week, a CNN report said Washington plans to do so by Friday.
However, in recent days, Israeli negotiators have told mediators that Israel is prepared to reduce its military presence in the corridor in the first phase of a three-phase deal being considered, and to withdraw completely in the second phase, according to Kahn. has cited an official in these negotiations.
An Israeli official who interviewed Haaretz anonymously said: “Netanyahu long ago agreed to the complete withdrawal of the soldiers from the Philadelphia axis and the complete evacuation of the forces.” He added: “Netanyahu's recent actions have only caused a lot of damage to the negotiations.”
He also claimed that Netanyahu's Monday night press conference “was for political reasons to create an obstacle to the agreement.” “If these demands were not raised suddenly, an agreement would have been reached a long time ago.”
On the other hand, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Wednesday in which it rejected Netanyahu's statements about the need to maintain unlimited Israeli control along the Egyptian-Gaza border. This statement announced: “Cairo rejected the statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and considers him responsible for increasing tensions in the region.”
The Egyptian statement also denounced Netanyahu's claims that Cairo had allowed Hamas to smuggle weapons into Gaza from the Sinai Peninsula, accusing him of trying to deflect growing public criticism of Israel over his handling of the war. He attacks Egypt.
If Netanyahu is willing to change his position on Philadelphia as stated in these news, he has proven that his insistence on this position was not due to military logic and the strategic importance of this corridor, but for political reasons and personal interests.
