The White House is pushing back on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s stance of keeping Israeli troops along the Philadelphi corridor -- a narrow strip of land on the Gaza side of the Gaza-Egypt border -- saying the prime minister originally agreed to removing troops in the Israel-approved framework that was announced in May.

“I'm not going to get into a debate with the prime minister and what he said over the weekend about the Philadelphi corridor," White House national security communications adviser John Kirby said. "The deal itself, the proposal, including the bridging proposal that we started working with … included the removal of Israeli Defense Forces from all densely populated areas, and that includes those areas along that corridor. That's the proposal that Israel had agreed to."

Kirby acknowledged Israel’s belief that they need "some security" along the corridor, but Kirby did not give the U.S. position on whether the administration supports the IDF remaining in less dense areas along the border.

"The proposal says that they have to remove themselves to the east from densely populated areas -- and that core essential element of the proposal has not changed," Kirby said. "But the Israelis have said publicly that they believe that … they would need some security along that corridor."

National Unity party leader Benny Gantz slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday, claiming he is holding up a cease-fire and hostage deal.

Gantz said that on Monday, Netanyahu in his speech "did not look directly at the public and told the truth: That he will not bring the kidnapped alive, that he will not truly protect the southern bracket, that he will not return the residents of the north to their homes, that he will not deny Iran nuclear weapons."

"This did not surprise me, because during the period that we sat in the War Cabinet, Netanyahu delayed the ability to move forward with the abducted deals serially, including in the first outline," Gantz said. "This does not surprise me because already at the beginning of the war, when we asked to extend the military pressure to Khan Yunis and then to Rafah, Netanyahu hesitated and stopped."

"The time has come to say yes and move forward: we need to bring a deal - either in stages or in one stage," Gantz said.

Netanyahu in response laid out the Israeli military's recent successes.

"Since Gantz and his party resigned from the government, Israel has eliminated the Hamas Chief of Staff and the Hezbollah Chief of Staff, attacked the Houthis, captured the Philadelphia axis - Hamas's armament pipeline - and carried out a pre-emptive strike against Hezbollah that thwarted its malicious plan and destroyed thousands of rockets aimed at the Galilee," Netanyahu said. "Whoever does not contribute to the victory and the return of our hostages, it is better not to interfere."
