Summary

The Philadelphi corridor is an empty strip — only 100 meters (yards) wide in some places — that runs the 14-kilometer ( 8.6-mile ) length of Gaza ’s border with Egypt .

Under the ceasefire agreement, Israel was to begin withdrawing on Saturday and complete the pullout within eight days .

Its refusal to do so would likely be seen by Hamas and key mediator Egypt as a breach of the agreement.

An Israeli decision to stay in the corridor could further strain relations with Egypt , an American ally that has served as a key mediator with Hamas .

Egypt has warned that it could undermine its nearly half century-old peace treaty with Israel .

The United States has not taken a position on control of the corridor.
