Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced that Israel has not agreed to withdraw its forces from the Philaradelphi Axis along the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. The office denied the accuracy of a report on Israeli television stating that the Prime Minister had agreed to withdraw the forces. Netanyahu's office stated, "Israel insists on achieving all its war objectives, as defined by the security cabinet." It added, "This includes ensuring that Gaza does not again pose a security threat to Israel, which requires securing the southern border."
