The author is correct that having Israeli soldiers in the Philadelphi corridor will be a tripwire. The U.S. has had tripwire soldiers along the Korean DMZ for seventy years. The North Koreans know that if they screw around with the American soldiers, the U.S. will destroy Pyongyang & environs. The Gazans should expect the same vis-a-vis Rafah, Khan Yunis, Gaza City, Jabalia (& etc.), and by such means, peace can be secured.
