The Palestinian Authority has issued a formal condemnation of Israel’s unilateral declaration establishing a provisional ceasefire demarcation—termed the ‘yellow line’—as the new boundary separating the Gaza Strip from Israeli territory. In an official statement disseminated through social media channels, a senior Palestinian representative characterized this move as a severe breach of both the recently brokered ceasefire accord and established principles of international law. The declaration frames the Israeli government’s actions as constituting yet another manifestation of what it describes as the ‘genocidal character’ of the occupying power’s ongoing operations against Palestinian civilians. This development introduces a new point of contention in the already fragile post-ceasefire environment, potentially undermining diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region. The designation of this security line as a permanent border represents a significant shift in the territorial status quo that could have profound implications for future negotiations concerning Palestinian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
