Egypt Plans for Corridor Help Ceasefire

My guess is that Sisi's plan to strictly control the Gaza border is part of why Israel accepted a ceasefire that didn't totally demilitarize Gaza. I also find it interesting that Egypt will clear homes from a swath in Rafah to form a buffer, but since Israel isn't doing that nobody will care.
