Israeli seizure of Philadelphi Corridor a 'red line' for Egypt: Analyst

Israel is expanding its military operation in central and western Rafah.
The military says it's in full control of the border area with Egypt, known as the Philadelphi Corridor.
The area is 14-kilometres long and intended to be a demilitarized buffer zone, running along the border between Gaza and Egypt.

Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud has the latest from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

Tamer Qarmout, assistant professor in public policy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, spoke to Al Jazeera about the Israeli military’s recent announcement that they had taken control of the Philadelphi Corridor.

He said this move signals a “red line” for the Egyptian government, adding that they are concerned about how it will impact their Camp David peace agreement with Israel.

God Bless the reporter Hani. I have watched him report through out this war. He has seen many of his counterparts perish. I can see he has lost weight. His face also shows the stress of what he is going through.

Benjamin Mileikowsky has no right to speak about 1000 year old ownership. His parents were from Poland. He has no landrights what so ever, this is the case for most of the sionists stealing land from Palestinians

Egypt wake up before there’s an Israeli flag on the pyramids.

Why is the world being so cruel, why does nobody stop this human tragedy? For Gods sake, these are poor, helpless people who just want to live peacefully on their own lands. They deserve to live in peace and dignity. Free Palestine 🇯🇴

NEXT MOVE: Zl0nS claiming they are the real pyramid’s owners, because their god has said so

Every bit of sympathy for the Jews of Israel, and their Jewish funders in America that I ever had has been forever and eternally destroyed.
My heart will always beat with the people of Palestine, now and forevermore.

Egypt will give their land to Israel but not to Palestinians

[jediTempleGuard]

Lets make clear that Egyptians and Sisi are not same. The soldier died several days ago clearly shows that Sisi do not represent even his own army. I am sorry to say this but he is more like a puppet of west and israel. Long story short... There is no red line for Egypt.

[AbefeAdewale-bgup]

Egyptian people wake up now, don't look any more before it's too late

[hgfku-tnhb]

Egypt should wake up and remain alert at all times

[Ibrahim-yck]

Egypt you are next to be invaded if you don't help your Palestinian brothers and sisters.

[rocksonwilson]

Egypt is a coward, they won't do anything.

[mirakbar]

How pathetic these neighboring countries leaders can be?? each time i ask this question, they show - we can go more lower.

[Fas]

The fact is that they ignored the Palestinians and now they can see the result

[mskhanmskhan]

Egypt does not have the balls to even utter about it 😂

[ahmedadan]

Egypt is so weak to draw any Redline for Israel. Egypt army salaries are being paid by the US . Literally, Egypt has no army of its own.

[patrickcloutier]

There are no "red lines" for Egyptian President Sisi - that is what the IDF is demonstrating, so that everyone will understand.

[MendeMaria-ejbf]

I wish the Arab states formed a union to stop this horrible genocide international laws are obviously not able to stop.

[nur-hakimergas]

There is no red line for Egypt, they are so afraid when it comes to Israel. This is a fact. 💯

The least egypt could have done the last 8 months is to let journalists in.
