Tel Aviv adheres to the Yellow Line.. and America launches "Phase Two" to disarm Gaza and form a "technocratic administration"

Hebrew and American reports on Thursday morning outlined the features of the next phase of the situation in the Gaza Strip, as Tel Aviv affirmed its refusal to withdraw from current positions without "disarmament," coinciding with Washington's announcement of the start of implementing the new peace plan.

Sources reported that Tel Aviv does not intend to withdraw from what is known as the "Yellow Line" east of the Gaza Strip at the current stage, linking any step back to achieving tangible and real progress in the disarmament of the Hamas movement.

This position comes with the announcement by the US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, on Wednesday evening, of the launch of "Phase Two" of President Donald Trump's 20-point plan.

The plan aims to: establish a transitional Palestinian administration with a technocratic character. Immediately begin the disarmament process. Commence the full reconstruction of the Strip.

In this context, a Hebrew newspaper revealed that the US envoy did not address the issue of opening the Rafah crossing, amid the absence of any new instructions for the occupation.

The newspaper attributed this to Netanyahu's insistence on not opening the crossing before "recovering a last body" still held by Hamas, according to the newspaper's description.

Reports stated that the Israeli occupation army is preparing to launch new operations in full coordination with the United States, if Hamas refuses to disarm.

Hebrew estimates indicate that the movement: held at least 10,000 fighters. Succeeded in recruiting thousands more recently. Possesses strategic weapons.

The Hebrew newspaper highlighted the financial strength of the movement, as security agency estimates claim that Hamas possesses huge cash funds stored in tunnels (especially in Gaza City and Al-Shati refugee camp), estimated at no less than 400 million shekels, and could reach one billion shekels.

The movement used these funds as part of an "economic emergency plan" to pay the salaries of tens of thousands of its members throughout the war.

Hebrew estimates indicated that the entry of about 4,200 aid trucks weekly enabled Hamas to collect daily tax revenues in the millions, which contributed to: increasing the salaries of its members to about 1,500 shekels per month.

Regarding the day after, a Hebrew newspaper confirmed that Hamas demands the retention of its government teams (since 2007), which is rejected by the international community.

Alternatively, a "technocratic committee," including names "familiar and acceptable" to Tel Aviv and having good relations with the Palestinian Authority, will manage public services in coordination with "Ramallah" and the United Nations.

The Hebrew newspaper concluded that the testing of these arrangements will begin from an "experimental neighborhood" in Rafah, with an emphasis that there will be no immediate withdrawal from the "Yellow Line."
