NEW YORK, December 10, 2025 (WAFA) – The United Nations announced its categorical rejection of statements by an Israeli official who claimed that "the yellow line in Gaza represents the new border," emphasizing its complete opposition to any change to the borders of Gaza and Israel.

The spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, said at the daily press briefing Tuesday evening, in response to a question about statements by the Israeli Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, regarding the yellow line in Gaza: "We categorically oppose any change to the borders of Gaza and Israel."

Dujarric pointed out that this statement contradicts the spirit and letter of the peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump, explaining that the United Nations, when referring to Gaza, relies on the existing borders between Gaza and Israel, not the yellow line.

The Israeli Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, had stated that "the yellow line represents the new border of the Gaza Strip," claiming in a statement that it constitutes "an advanced defense line for the settlements and an offensive line."

The yellow line is the line to which the occupation army withdrew as part of the implementation of the first phase of President Trump's plan to end the war on Gaza.
