paragraph_text: Refusal to withdraw from Philadelphi corridor
  
  On 27 February 2025, after Israel had received the agreed upon number of hostages for phase one, an Israeli official told media outlets it would not withdraw from the Philadelphi corridor, despite agreeing to begin withdrawal from the corridor when the deal was first signed. The deal Israel ratified had instructed Israel to start withdrawing from the Philadelphi corridor on 1 March 2025 and fully withdraw within eight days.
