A heated argument broke out between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant during a recent meeting of the Israeli security cabinet. The dispute centered around the conditions for a hostage and ceasefire agreement in Gaza.
The main point of contention was whether Israeli troops should withdraw from the Philadelphi Corridor, a 14-kilometer stretch along the Gaza-Egypt border currently controlled by the IDF. Netanyahu presented maps suggesting that IDF troops should remain in the corridor to prevent arms smuggling by Hamas through tunnels.
