The White House said today that “Israel” agreed to a framework for a prisoner exchange deal which would entail them withdrawing from parts of the Philadelphi Corridor on the Gaza-Egypt border.

The statement comes a day after “Israeli” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vehemently declared that they would never leave the Gaza-Egypt border.

“The deal itself, including the bridging proposal that we started working with… includes the removal of Israeli Defense Forces from all densely populated areas, and that includes those areas along and adjacent to that corridor,” said White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby today.

“That’s the proposal that Israel had agreed to,” he added.
