Egypt "will not express opposition" to the presence of Israeli forces along the Philadelphi Corridor, Al-Akhbar reported. The report claimed that the current Israeli presence along the corridor is "without a legal framework which would benefit from Egypt's agreement." According to Al-Akhbar , Egypt will treat the current situation as "legal violations," and will not provide Israel with written or oral approval of its forces' presence. However, this is expected to pacify Israel.
