  Netanyahu reiterates Israeli army to stay in Gaza-Egypt border area

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed Monday that the army will remain in the Gaza-Egypt border area known as the Philadelphi Corridor while stressing that Israel’s Cabinet will decide on the matter in a vote, AzVision.az reports citing Anadolu Agency. 

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant is known to oppose Netanyahu's position on keeping Israeli soldiers in the area.

Speaking to Israel’s Channel 14, Netanyahu said that Israel will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor, stressing that staying there has "political and security privileges."

He didn't elaborate further, however.

Netanyahu noted that everyone is allowed to express their opinion on the issue, including himself, but stressed that the decision to stay in the Philadelphi Corridor will be decided based on a majority vote in the Cabinet.

He added that he is confident that the Cabinet will back his decision to remain in the border area.
