The European Union has rejected any change to territorial control in the Gaza Strip, following Israel’s introduction of what it calls the “orange line”, an EU spokesperson said on Monday.

Anouar El Anouni, spokesperson for EU foreign affairs, made the remarks in response to a question from Anadolu Agency about the new Israeli measure, which reportedly expands its control to more than 60 per cent of Gaza, instead of carrying out further withdrawals required under the peace agreement.

He stressed that the EU continues to underline the importance of unifying Gaza with the West Bank under the administration of the Palestinian Authority.

El Anouni added that the bloc is renewing its call for the urgent implementation of the Gaza peace plan, expressing deep concern over the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the territory.

He also urged Israel to allow immediate, large-scale and unhindered access for humanitarian aid into Gaza, and to ensure its sustainable distribution.

Recently, the Israeli army introduced what has become known as the “orange line”, which goes beyond the “yellow line” set out in the ceasefire agreement in force since 10 October 2025.

Under the agreement, the “yellow line” separates areas under Israeli military control in the east from zones where Palestinians are allowed to be present in the west, covering around 53 per cent of the territory.

However, Israel has not adhered to this arrangement, gradually advancing beyond the yellow line into deeper parts of Gaza, in an area now referred to as the “orange line”.

The group behind the radical Project 2025 agenda is increasingly turning its attention to Europe.

The group that drafted a key blueprint for Donald Trump’s second term convened a meeting in Washington D.C. this week to consider proposals for bulldozing the European Union (EU).

The Polish investigative outlet VSquare revealed that the Heritage Foundation gathered hardline conservative groups on 11 March to hear how they would overhaul the current structures of the EU.

The “closed-door workshop” featured a debate on a new paper produced by the lobby groups MCC and Ordo Iuris entitled: “The Great Reset: Restoring Member State Sovereignty in the 21st Century”.

The paper proposes dismantling the European Commission and the European Court of Justice. It claims that the “EU is evolving into a quasi-federal state, limiting national decision-making power” and is imposing “ideologically motivated policies on member states, without any mandate”. Under the plan, the EU would cease to function in its current guise, and would instead be renamed the European Community of Nations (ECN).

Kenneth Haar, a researcher and campaigner at the transparency watchdog Corporate Europe Observatory, said it was “quite simply terrifying” to see the Heritage Foundation moving its attention to Europe.”

“Most of the attacks made by the Trump presidency in recent weeks on civil rights, on migrants, on LGBTQ+ rights and more, can be traced back to Project 2025,” he said. “We should be worried about them building up ambitions and strength in Europe.”

DeSmog can also reveal that the Heritage Foundation has been holding private meetings with European politicians in recent months, as the group attempts to forge new alliances on the continent.
