Egypt says Netanyahu violated peace accords: Report

Egypt told Israel that it violated the two's 40-year-old peace accords by showing a map of the Philadelphi Corridor as a military zone, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news reported.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the map during a press conference on Monday, complaining that arms and military supplies had been travelling through the border between Egypt and Gaza, as he argued Israel needed to maintain control of the area. 

Israel briefed Egypt ahead of the conference and said it would debate the status of the corridor in the future, but Cairo said it would only accept a pledge for Israel to withdraw.
