Egyptians will not give border territory to Israel: Analyst
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that the border zone between the Gaza Strip and Egypt should be under Israel’s control.
Netanyahu made the comments at a news conference where he also promised to continue Israel’s war on Gaza.
“The Philadelphi Corridor – or to put it more correctly, the southern stoppage point [of Gaza] – must be in our hands. It must be shut. It is clear that any other arrangement would not ensure the demilitarisation that we seek,” he said.
But “The Egyptians will not accept giving that territory to the Israelis,” Rami Khouri, the director of global engagement at the American University of Beirut told Al Jazeera.
Egypt is responsible for patrolling the corridor, which was created with the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty of 1979, said Khouri.
Tunnels underneath the corridor make it Palestinians “only outlet to the world”, Khouri added.
The plan is one of many floated by Netanyahu, who Khouri said is “constantly negotiating” and “appealing to different audiences”.
But, said Khouri who spoke to Al Jazeera from Boston, “I don’t think people want to give Israel more territorial control of Arab lands.”
“We want them to get out of the Arab land and shift into a political negotiation, which will give the Israelis and the Palestinians their full rights, like the Egyptians got their full rights when they made peace with Israel.”
