The Morag Corridor is an Israeli security corridor in the southern Gaza Strip announced by Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu on 2 April 2025 during a renewed offensive against Rafah, and fully established on 12 April 2025. The security zone, named after a former Jewish settlement that once existed between Rafah and Khan Yunis, would create a third Israeli-controlled axis dividing sections of Gaza. Netanyahu described this measure as intended to increase pressure on Hamas to release remaining hostages and surrender control of the territory.
