Why the Philadelphi Corridor in Gaza is Blocking a Ceasefire

The Philadelphia Corridor in Gaza is blocking a ceasefire due to: 1. Its historical use as a smuggling route for weapons into the Gaza Strip. 2. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence on maintaining a military presence there to prevent future attacks. 3. Egypt's refusal to discuss new arrangements for the crossing until Israel commits to withdrawing from Gaza entirely. 4. Hamas's demand for guarantees of a full Israeli withdrawal before releasing any hostages. 5. Netanyahu's political need to keep troops in the corridor to maintain support from his far-right coalition partners.
