The 'Holy' Philadelphi Route Will Be Paved With Hostages' Bodies as Israel Reoccupies Gaza
Netanyahu and his ministers know that the army's presence on the Gaza-Egypt border didn't prevent Hamas' attacks in the past. The goal actually is to keep Israel in Gaza forever, a goal that's no longer folly, but evil.

â– HOSTAGES/CEASE-FIRE:
The press conference held on Monday evening by PM Netanyahu,
in which he argued that Israel will never leave the Philadelphi corridor, has"torpedoed" mediators' attempts to renew cease-fire/hostage deal negotiations, a source familiar with the talks told CNN.
Haaretz
The cabinet's decision to keep Israeli troops on the Philadelphi Corridor ignores the stance of the army and Shin Bet people who believe that Israel can forgo control over the route, certainly for a limited time.
