- ‘Israel’ rules out withdrawal from the eastern Gaza Strip without progress on Hamas disarmament.
- The position was reported by the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation.
‘Israel’ has no intention of withdrawing from the so-called yellow line in the eastern Gaza Strip unless there is tangible progress toward the disarmament of Hamas, according to 'Israeli' media.
Position on the Gaza Strip
The 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation reported on Wednesday that Israeli officials consider the yellow line, a buffer zone inside the Gaza Strip along its eastern edge, a strategic area that will remain under Israeli control for now.
The report said the stance is tied directly to demands that Hamas be stripped of its military capabilities, a condition ‘Israel’ views as non-negotiable at this stage.
Context of the war
The Gaza Strip has been under sustained Israeli aggression since October, with tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, many of them martyrs, and widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. International pressure has mounted on ‘Israel’ to halt its offensive and withdraw its forces.
Hamas has repeatedly rejected calls to disarm, describing them as a precondition aimed at ending Palestinian resistance.
What’s next
No timeline was provided for a possible withdrawal from the eastern Gaza Strip. The report said the issue remains linked to negotiations and battlefield developments, with no immediate change expected in Israeli military deployment.
