Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn yet another redline to impede any sustainable ceasefire in Gaza. As nationwide protests swarm Israel demanding the release of the 90 remaining hostages, Netanyahu realises that when the guns go silent, he will be automatically forced out of office and most probably tried for allowing the 7 October attack to happen.
And that might explain why the Israeli premier has successfully managed to thwart every single peace initiative put on the table since then, now saying that under no conditions will he withdraw from the Salah Al Din Corridor, or what the Israelis call the Philadelphi Route, a narrow border crossing 100 meters wide and 14-km long stretching between Gaza and Egypt.
