Israel says still unclear if will take over Gaza-Egypt border zone

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday that a decision had yet to be made about a potential military takeover of the "Philadelphi Corridor" along the Gaza Strip's border with Egypt, Reuters reported.

Telling reporters that sealing off the zone to isolate Hamas was an aim of the Gaza war, Netanyahu said "there are a number of options", including moving forces into Philadelphi.

"We have looked into these and have yet to make a decision," he said.
