Religious Zionism minister Orit Strook visited Kerem Shalom today (Tuesday) and publicly announced that if Prime Minister Netanyahu agrees to withdraw from either the Rafah Crossing and the Philadelphi Corridor or from the Netzarim Corridor bisecting the Gaza Strip, her party would dissolve the coalition.

In a public statement she made during her visit, Minister Strook said that it was vitally important that the war not be "another round" of violence and that the threat presented to Israel from the Gaza Strip be eliminated for a very long time.

To that end, she said that "we said clearly and explicitly, that if they take the IDF out of the Strip, if they take it out of the Netzarim corridor, if they take it out of Philadelphi, if they take it out of the (security) perimeter, we won't be in the government."
