Egypt warned Israel that any attempt to seize security control of the strip of land that separates Gaza and Egypt would result in a “serious threat” to relations between the neighboring countries. The Philadelphia corridor is a 14km slice of land on the Egypt-Gaza border. “It must be strictly emphasized that any Israeli move in this direction will lead to a serious threat to Egyptian-Israeli relations,” Diaa Rashwan, head of Egypt’s State Information Service, said in a statement. Mr Rashwan said Gaza’s western border was secure and that Israeli claims that weapons were being smuggled from Egypt were false.
