One of the delicate points of the negotiations is the Philadelphia has regained controlthe 14-kilometer border between the Strip and Egypt, now occupied by Israel, which demands “an end to arms smuggling” via that route.

According to leaks in some media, that would already be the case close to an agreement between the parties that Egypt and the US will take control of the corridor.
