A political source told Noam Amir (Channel 14) on Friday afternoon that Israel has reiterated its longstanding position: the IDF will not withdraw from the current yellow line — the operational boundary established during the war — without a verified and complete disarmament of Hamas. The statement was issued in response to unspecified reports from earlier in the day suggesting political progress in Gaza. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple occasions where Israeli officials defined the yellow line as a non-negotiable red line, including a senior official in June who denied concessions and Prime Minister Netanyahu's reported rejection of U.S. withdrawal demands in July. Today's clarification underscores the consistency of the Israeli position as diplomatic efforts continue.
