A recent poll conducted by Israeli Broadcaster Channel 12 has revealed that 60% of Israeli settlers believe that a prisoner exchange deal with the Palestinian Resistance should take precedence over Israeli troops occupying the Philadelphi Corridor. Only 28% of respondents felt that the occupation of the Philadelphi Axis was more important, while 12% were undecided.
The Philadelphi Corridor, located in the southernmost areas of the Gaza Strip, has been a point of contention in ceasefire negotiations between Zionist entity and Palestinian forces. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance on maintaining Israeli occupation military presence in the area has been criticized for obstructing peace talks.
The death of six Israeli captives last Sunday has further intensified calls for a prisoner exchange, with 61% of respondents in the poll stating that the government is not doing enough to secure their release. Protests have erupted demanding action on the captive situation.
The poll sheds light on the current sentiments within Israeli communities regarding the government’s handling of the prisoner exchange file. With 60% prioritizing the release of captives, it is clear that many believe this should take precedence over the occupation of the Philadelphi Corridor.
The war on Gaza has claimed the lives of nearly 40,900 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and left over 94,000 injured, according to local health authorities.
The blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of essential supplies, leaving much of the region devastated. ‘Israel’ is currently facing genocide accusations at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
