The Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Eyal Zamir, announced that the 'Yellow Line' dividing the Gaza Strip now serves as a new border, marking the separation between areas controlled by Hamas and those under Israeli control. Zamir described this line as both a defensive barrier for Israeli communities and a zone of military operations. Under the terms of the Trump plan, Israel is expected to withdraw from this line during the second phase of a ceasefire, after which the area would be managed by an international force.
