As Israeli forces prepare to withdraw from a key border zone, critical questions arise about the future of peace in the region.
The Philadelphi Corridor, located between Gaza and Egypt, has played a significant role in border dynamics since being established by the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. For the past years, Hamas-controlled Gaza has utilized this corridor for both humanitarian passages and arms smuggling, leading to heightened tensions.
