The victims stare at the winners and at the losers alike, asking was it worth the fight? did you get what you sought? did you think this through? and now we inherit the rubble what do you expect us to do with this legacy, with this loss? Will you now retreat behind your yellow lines and leave us in this desolate peace?

Yellow lines
The victims stare at the winners and at the losers alike, asking was it worth the fight? did you get what you sought? did you think this through? and now we inherit the rubble what do you expect us to do with this legacy, with this loss? Will you now retreat behind your yellow lines and leave us in this desolate peace?
Mixed emotions 10 Oct 2025. "US special envoy Steve Witkoff said US Central Command had confirmed IDF troops had "completed the first phase withdrawal" to what he referred to as the "yellow line". The line was featured in a map released by the White House last week marking where troops would withdraw to during this phase of the ceasefire agreement, where it would control 53% of Gaza."
