The Gaza hostages deal includes an IDF withdrawal from sections of the Philadelphi Corridor, according to US National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby. However, Israel denies this, stating that the area is not densely populated. The disagreement centers around the interpretation of the agreement, with Israel arguing that it can remain in control of the Philadelphi Corridor while withdrawing from other densely populated areas. The deal is structured to address the control of the Corridor, a permanent ceasefire, and the complete withdrawal of the IDF from Gaza during Phase One of the agreement. The issue is still being debated, with the possibility of withdrawal from the Corridor in Phase Two.
