Israel completed its withdrawal from the Netzarim Corridor on Sunday, a key road that splits Gaza in half, as part of its commitments under a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.

The withdrawal from the Netzarim corridor removes one of Israel’s bargaining chips as it moves toward negotiating a full end to the war.

The withdrawal is part of a ceasefire deal with Hamas in which the sides are supposed to negotiate an extension that would lead to more hostages being freed.
