Israel is installing yellow concrete line into a permanent new border.
Today, Israel is installing yellow concrete markers across Gaza, turning what was supposed to be a temporary ceasefire line into a permanent new border.

The pattern is unmistakable for anyone who's been paying attention to Israel's history of territorial expansion. The yellow line cuts Gaza roughly in half, leaving 53% under Israeli military control. More than 20 Palestinians are being killed every day near this line, shot for trying to reach their own homes. Israeli media are already calling it a "new border," and satellite analysis shows the markers are being placed beyond even the agreed ceasefire line.

This follows decades of Israeli behavior where temporary military positions become permanent territorial seizures. From 1948 to settlement expansion in the West Bank, the playbook remains the same. Netanyahu has made clear Israel will maintain indefinite control of Gaza's security, with experts labeling this "creeping annexation."

Palestinian families watch helplessly as their homes become unreachable on the wrong side of a line that was never meant to last. But when it comes to Israeli territorial control, nothing temporary ever stays that way. The yellow line is concrete proof that this ceasefire was about redrawing the map, not making peace.
