<p>GAZA, (PIC)</p>
<p>The Hamas Movement stressed on Tuesday that Israel must be compelled
to fully implement its obligations under phase one of the ceasefire
agreement before any discussion can begin regarding phase two.</p>
<p>Husam Badran, a member of Hamas\u2019s political bureau, rejected
statements by Chief of General Staff of the Israeli occupation military,
Eyal Zamir, who claimed that the so-called \u201cyellow line\u201d represents
Gaza\u2019s \u201cnew borders.\u201d Badran said the remarks clearly reveal Israel\u2019s
attempt to evade the agreement and impose new facts on the ground.</p>
<p>Badran said all parties overseeing the ceasefire file agree that
Israel has not fulfilled any of the commitments required under phase
one. He pointed to the continued closure of the Rafah crossing in both
directions, Israel\u2019s obstruction of the entry of tents and caravans
designated for displaced families, the reduction of humanitarian aid,
and ongoing killings and bombardment inside the enclave.</p>
<p>He added that Israel\u2019s continued demolition of Palestinian homes
within what it calls the \u201cyellow line\u201d is a continuation of military
operations that were supposed to stop on the first day of the agreement,
underscoring that these violations persist without any meaningful
compliance.</p>
<p>Badran emphasized that any discussion of arrangements for phase two
\u201cdepends first on clear pressure from mediators, the United States, and
all concerned parties to compel Israel to implement every provision of
phase one.\u201d He said phase two \u201ccannot begin while Israel continues to
violate the agreement and evade its commitments.\u201d</p>
<p>Two days earlier, Zamir said the \u201cyellow line\u201d separating areas under
Hamas\u2019s control from those under Israeli control now represents the
\u201cnew border\u201d between Israel and the Gaza Strip. He also urged
preparations for the possibility of a surprise war.</p>
<p>During a field tour in Gaza, Zamir described the \u201cyellow line\u201d as
both a \u201cforward defensive line for settlements and a line of attack,\u201d
sending a pointed message to the Israeli government, despite the fact
that US president Donald Trump\u2019s plan requires Israel to withdraw from
that line in phase two in exchange for the deployment of an
international stabilization force.</p>
