With rumors swirling about the details and terms of a hostage deal with Hamas, former Foreign Minister and current Energy Minister addressed the question on Army Radio today (Sunday).
During an interview with host Amir Ivig, Cohen said that "we will not leave Gaza until the last of the hostages is released. It's clear to everyone that Israel will have security control of the Strip, which means the ability to come and carry out an operation at any point in time in any place. Therefore the Philadelphi Corridor needs to remain under Israeli control."
