The Yellow Line is a demarcation line that has divided the Gaza Strip in two since the October 2025 implementation of the Gaza peace plan intended to end the Gaza war. The area east of the line, covering 53% of the Gaza Strip's territory, is under Israeli military control, while the area west of the line, covering 47% of the Gaza Strip, is controlled by Hamas.
President Trump saying his Gaza peace plan will end the war between Israel and Hamas and launch a new era of peace in the Middle East is pure poppycock. Four months into the ceasefire, progress on implementing the 20-point plan appears to be stalling.
According to two NPR correspondents from Gaza, the ceasefire plan is not going according to plan.
* No increase in humanitarian aid.
* No education system is not in place.
* People are left without income.
* Freedom of travel is restricted.
* 20,000 injured Palestinians who are at risk of losing their lives if they were not evacuated for medical treatment abroad.
Instead of condemning the frequent Israeli violations of his "fake ceasefire plan," President Trump is more focused on covering his rear end with the daily revelation of the Epstein files, and sending ICE thugs into neighborhoods, heavily armed, looking almost indistinguishable from scenes of US soldiers abroad such as in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Venezuela where they can use violence overseas "In Defense of Empire."
Meanwhile, Israel keeps moving the invisible yellow line and continuing the genocide in Gaza. The line separates 47% of the territory in the western area, which is Palestinian-controlled, from the 53% of the Gaza Strip controlled by Israel. Almost all Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced to the area west of the line. Since its initial creation, Israel has moved the yellow line blocks further into Gaza.
Israel has violated the ceasefire more than 1,620 times and Israeli attacks have killed at least 601 Palestinians and wounded 1,607 in Gaza since the October 10 “ceasefire,” according to a February 15, 2025 report by Al Jazeera. Basically, the Israel's genocide in Gaza has not stopped, despite the October 10, 2025 so-called ceasefire that was supposed to put an end to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Ben Gvir and Smotrich at the same time are encouraging violence and continual harassment of Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank.
Netanyahu should have been arrested in the US since there is a warrant for his arrest by ICC for the war crime of starvation as a method of warfare and the crimes against humanity. But our current corrupt President protected and encouraged war criminal Netanyahu and neither one of them brought peace.
Crime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he will visit New York despite mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s repeated pledge to arrest him should he step foot in the city. However, during his last US visit, the coward Crime Minister has a second thought about landing in NYC because he knew that Mayor Zohran Mamdani meant what he said about arresting him.
Fresh claims from the latest Jeffrey Epstein-related documents reveal an FBI report quoting a ‘credible’ confidential human source (CHS). The source alleges that US President Donald Trump has been "compromised by Israel." The sourced added that Jared Kushner was running the show at the White House during Trump's first term in office as President. That's the ugly truth why Trump could not stop the mass killing in Gaza. Israel has him by the throat!
