A minister in Israel’s right-wing Likud party has threatened to resign if the country withdraws from the Philadelphi corridor, as outlined in phase one of the ceasefire agreement. Amichai Chikli, the minister of diaspora and combating antisemitism, made the announcement, becoming the first Likud party member to take such a stance.
The Philadelphi corridor, a narrow strip of land along the Egypt-Gaza border, has been a contentious issue in the ceasefire negotiations. Chikli emphasized Israel’s withdrawal from this area as the primary reason for his resignation threat.
