| IDF to remain along Philadelphi Route until end of ceasefire’s last phase — report |
| 2025-01-12 |
| [IsraelTimes] A senior source in Hamas tells the Qatari outlet al-Araby al-Jadeed that the framework of a ceasefire-hostage deal between Israel and the Palestinian terror group has been completed, with mediators now waiting for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s approval before announcing the agreement. The outlet also reports that under the deal, Israel would not fully withdraw from the Philadelphi Route along the Gaza-Egypt border until the last day of the agreement’s final phase, after gradually pulling out forces during the earlier two stages. |

| #5 ^ Egypt can't even help defend their major income source, Suez shipping fees, against the stoopid Houthi extortion |

| #4 I think if Hamas were stupid enough to do another 10/7, Ebbeting Jones8196, Israel would not temper its response — unlike this time, when PM Netanyahu let the Biden administration and the West persuade him to go slow, to pause, to target attacks in order to avoid harming civilians as much as possible. There’d be no phone calls and “knocking” to let the civilians know to get away from the target before smashing it. What Gaza is getting is cold anger. Do it again and the anger would turn white hot. And if Egypt were to be so profoundly stupid as to rear up on its hind legs to join in the fun, it wouldn’t be tanks through the desert to the Suez Canal, but bombers over Cairo, and Egypt trading the Sinai for peace. |

| #3 Big mistake. So we can aspect another Hamas attack in 5-10 years. |

| #1 IDF should remain in control of the corridor until terror tunnels are no longer capable of being built, i.e.: forever |
