The question over the security  arrangements for the Philadelphi corridor , the 14-kilometer route along the Egypt-Gaza border, has increased tension between Israel and Egypt. The Egyptian Foreign Ministry issued a strongly-worded response to PM Netanyahu’s accusation implying  Egypt had helped smuggle weapons across the Philadelphi Corridor. Cairo  is demanding the IDF’s immediate withdrawal from the Rafah terminal and from the Philadelphi Corridor. Reporter Mark Weiss spoke with Ruth Wasserman Lande, an Arab specialist and a Research Fellow at the Misgav Institute for Strategic Affairs.
