In response to a question about Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir's remarks regarding the yellow line in Gaza, UN Secretary-General's spokesman Stephane Dujarric said at the daily press briefing on Tuesday: "We categorically oppose any change to the borders of Gaza and Israel."
Dujarric pointed out that this statement contradicts the spirit and text of the peace plan put forward by US President Donald Trump, explaining that the United Nations, when talking about Gaza, relies on the existing borders between Gaza and Israel and not the yellow line.
On sunday, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said that "the yellow line represents the new border of the Gaza Strip," claiming in a statement that it constitutes "an advanced line of defense for the settlements and a line of attack."
They yellow line is the line to which the Israeli army withdrew as part of the implementation of the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war on Gaza.
In a related context, Egypt announced on Tuesday evening its "categorical" rejection of any calls aimed at displacing Palestinians or changing the demographics of the Gaza Strip.
This came in statements by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel-Aty, during his reception, in Cairo, of a European delegation headed by Christophe Bigot, the European Union's special envoy for the Middle East peace process, according to a statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry
During the meeting, Abdel-Aati reviewed the "constants of the Egyptian position" regarding the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, foremost among them "the commitment to implementing Security Council Resolution No. 2803, which guarantees the consolidation of the ceasefire and the flow of aid without restrictions, and preparations for the deployment of the temporary international stabilization force."
He also stressed "the importance of proceeding with the formation of the Palestinian technocratic committee as a prelude to the return of the Palestinian Authority to the Gaza Strip." Abdel-Aati affirmed "Egypt's categorical rejection of any calls aimed at displacing Palestinians or altering the geographic and demographic character of the Strip."
The minister addressed "the issue of training Palestinian police officers in Egypt, and the importance of joint work to increase the volume of humanitarian aid entering the sector daily."
Two years after the war, a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas came into effect on October 10, 2023. It was supposed to end a genocide perpetrated by Tel Aviv over two years, starting on October 8, 2023, which left more than 70,000 martyrs and more than 171,000 wounded Palestinians, most of them children and women, and massive destruction with a reconstruction cost estimated by the United Nations at about $70 billion.
Israel also continues to violate the humanitarian protocol of the agreement by allowing the entry of far less aid than agreed upon, according to previous statements from the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip.
