Israeli, US and Egyptian officials discussed plans to build an underground high-tech barrier on the Philadelphi Corridor and deploy elite Egyptian troops to police above, in a bid to sway Israel’s leader on peace talks.
The discussions, reported by the Financial Times, have not been finalised.
During a press conference on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Egypt of failing to stem arms smuggling to Gaza, which has inflamed ties with Egypt, a historic peace partner.
