"Israel has to be in full control of the Philadelphi Corridor"

Col. (Res.) David Hacham, Orientalist: "The peace agreement between Israel and Egypt, which in March marked the 45th anniversary of its signing, is a security and strategic interest of the highest order for Israel. Every effort should be made to preserve it for future generations. At the same time, there is also a certain problem in the Egyptian conduct, in the Sinai, along the Egyptian side of the border with the Gaza Strip, also regarding the issue of closing the Rafah crossing now".

and David Hacham 
| 01.07.2024

Col. (Ret.) David Hacham is a former advisor to Defense Ministers and head of the Arab Affairs Department in the Israeli administration of Gaza. Currently, a research fellow at the Israel Center for Grand Strategy (ICGS) and author of ‘Gaza Up Close’, chronicling the First Intifada, and ‘The Land Was Filled with Hamas’, detailing the life of Hamas’s founder Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. His forthcoming book, ‘Egypt First and Always’, offers a multifaceted analysis of relations between Israel and Egypt based on his personal experiences.

The center serves as a platform for researchers and the articles and interviews published on its platforms are the opinions of their authors, and not the position of the center.
