Yellow Line (Gaza)

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 line originally separated 47% of the territory in the western area, which is Palestinian-controlled, from the 53% of the Gaza Strip controlled by Israel. Gazans have been displaced to the area west of the line. Since its initial creation, Israel has moved the yellow line blocks further into Gaza.

In May 2026, Israel said that it had increased its control to 60% of the Gaza Strip, and seeks to expand that figure to 70%.
