- Netanyahu’s refusal to sign truce deal infuriates Israelis
Israel’s prime minister’s insistence on an open-ended control over Gaza’s southern border area with Egypt – known as the Philadelphi Corridor – is derailing cease-fire efforts to end the regime’s genocidal war on the Palestinian territory. Benjamin Netanyahu is under increasing pressure domestically to sign a cease-fire agreement with Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, especially after the bodies of the six more captives held in Gaza were recently retrieved from the Palestinian territory. The international community is also exerting pressure on Israeli officials to end their devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of nearly 41,000 Palestinians – mostly women and children – since last October.
