Netanyahu's office suggests its not weighing troop withdrawal from Gaza-Egypt border

Israel has not agreed to withdraw its troops from the Philadelphi Corridor along the border between Egypt and Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office suggested in a statement on Wednesday.

"Israel will insist on the achievement of all of its objectives for the war, as they have been defined by the Security Cabinet, including that Gaza never again constitutes a security threat to Israel. This requires securing the southern border," Netahyahu's office said in a statement.

The statement comes after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Netanyahu had agreed to a US “bridging proposal” for a Gaza ceasefire. Later, an Israeli media report said Netanyahu had agreed to withdraw troops from the area.
