33. The Corridor is a strip of land on the Egyptian side of the Egypt/Gaza

border. In the Sinai agreement that split land up into zones the IDF was allowed on a very narrow strip on the eastern edge aka the Philadelphi Corridor. However that presence is a negotiated matter and Israel withdrew and Egypt took over when the Gaza withdrawal took place. Returning would also have to be a negotiated matter and Egypt has said no. But then again just like in southern Lebanon the Israeli government feels it can just come and go in others countries as it pleases and hang on to chunks if it wants. Then do "negotiations" at the point of a gun or ex post facto.
