According to Reuters, the declaration to protect the Philadelphia corridor to the end was made by the Israeli Prime Minister on September 4 local time, in a speech at a press conference in Jerusalem.
He stressed again that a ceasefire can only be agreed until there is no longer any Hamas activity in the Philadelphia corridor.
Previously, on the evening of September 2 (local time), the Israeli Prime Minister spoke about this.
Israel's military operation in the area is expected to last about 42 days. Mr. Netanyahu firmly warned that Israel will not withdraw its troops if the international community continues to put pressure.
In recent days, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has faced criticism for sending large numbers of soldiers to guard the Philadelphia corridor.
Many leaders of countries in the Middle East region, along with the United States, strongly oppose this action by Israel. US President Joe Biden also said that Israel is being superficial in bringing peace to Gaza.
Mr. Benny Grant - a politician and senior Israeli general - also disagreed with this decision of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and said that this was an unnecessary action.
Israelis have reacted angrily to Netanyahu's repeated talk of protecting the Philadelphia corridor. Thousands of people have protested for three days, calling on Israel to make more concessions in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations.
The Philadelphia Corridor is located on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. It is also known by another name, the Salah Al-Din axis, and is about 14km long and less than 100m wide.
This is a small but important area for many countries including Israel, Egypt and Palestine.
