How did Egypt respond to Netanyahu's allegations of smuggling weapons to Gaza via Philadelphia?

In his press conference yesterday, Netanyahu said that achieving the goals of the war on Gaza passes through the Philadelphi corridor, stressing that his forces will not withdraw from it.

Netanyahu added that "the moment we left the Philadelphi Corridor on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, it had no barrier to the massive infiltration of weapons, war materials, machinery needed to manufacture rockets, and machinery needed to dig tunnels."

The Israeli Prime Minister pointed out that all of this is under the auspices of Iran, its direction and its funding, and Gaza has become a huge threat to Israel because there was no barrier on the Philadelphi Corridor.

He also said that what he described as the "axis of evil" needs this axis and therefore he is not prepared to abandon it, considering that the entry of the Israeli army into the axis forced Hamas to change its position in the negotiations, according to his expression.

Egypt, Qatar and the United States have been leading indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas for months, but they have not resulted in an agreement because Israel has rejected the movement's demand to end the war, withdraw its forces from the Gaza Strip and return displaced Palestinians to the north of the Strip.
