Hamas has made new last-minute demands regarding the Philadelphi corridor, a senior Israeli political source told The Jerusalem Post.

The Israeli negotiating team was recently informed that Hamas decided at the last minute to make new demands - this time regarding the Philadelphi corridor, in contrast to the maps that have already been approved by the cabinet and American mediators.

Israel strongly opposes any changes to these maps, they said.
