Egypt has taken a firm stance against a proposal put forward by Israel for increased Israeli oversight of the Salah al-Din Corridor (Philadelphi Corridor) on the Egypt-Gaza border. According to Egyptian security sources, Cairo is prioritizing efforts to broker a ceasefire before considering any post-war arrangements. The proposal was part of Israel's plan to prevent future attacks in the region, but Egypt has rejected the idea, stating its commitment to ensuring the security and stability of the border zone.

The 13km border between Egypt and Gaza is the only border of the Palestinian coastal enclave not directly controlled by Israel, making it a crucial area for both countries. Egypt, along with Qatar, has been playing a leading role in talks to broker a new ceasefire in Gaza and secure a deal for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. The rejection of Israel's proposal further emphasizes Egypt's dedication to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflicts in the region.
