Why is Israel demanding control over 2 Gaza corridors in the cease-fire talks?

30. Your assumption

that Gaza = Israel is in conflict with international law. The Philadelphi Corridor is Egyptian territory not Israeli. Israel can do what it wants within it's own borders. It has no legal claim to place troops just willy-nilly whenever and wherever it wants on the territory of other people. Yes I know they do it and get away with it because they have the US behind them but it doesn't mean it's legal under international law.

I have listened for decades and decades about terrorism and Israel defending itself but most Western media doesn't carry a whisper about Israeli terrorism in other countries over the decades. Terrorism is horrible. Everybody's terrorism. Violation of international law and treaties is horrible no matter who the violator or why. Some countries comply with obligations to international law, UN Resolutions etc. while others like Iran and Israel often do not. Iran worse than most.

Anybody can think what they want about the claim by the Israeli government that everyone is treated equally and that any abuses of people are rare and always dealt with but all of the human rights organizations in Israel and outside of Israel disagree and have the fact-finding to back it up. What they don't have is the political ability to improve the situation currently. We also have eyes to see what goes on in the West Bank with illegal squatters attacking Palestinian villagers while the IDF stands and watches. Israel is hardly "protecting their borders" with such conduct. Nor are they "protecting their borders" when they go thousands of miles away to assassinate the citizens of other countries regardless of whether they are in political or military opposition to you. Because if someone feels it is legitimate to do so then they have not one leg to stand on to complain when it is visited upon them in return.
