The United States is talking to Israeli officials and others about the idea of a safe passage for Gaza civilians after Israel's air strikes following a deadly Hamas attack over the weekend, the U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.

"We are focused on this question, there are consultations going on," Sullivan told reporters in a White House press briefing.

Israel has battered Palestinians with deadly air strikes in Gaza after Palestinian Islamist group Hamas' attack on Israel on Saturday that left hundreds dead.

Gaza's Health Ministry said at least 830 Palestinians were killed and up to 4,250 wounded in Israeli air strikes on the blockaded enclave since Saturday. The enclave, only 40km (25 miles) long by 10km (6 miles) wide, is home to 2.3 million people.

Yeah, the problem is, how do you prevent Hamas militants from using these channels? It's not like anyone could expect them to abide by an agreement to not abuse a humanitarian program like that.

[-] Haphazard9479@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

You probably cant stop Hamas from using these channels if they want out. We still have to try and provide safe passage for civilans.

Then the question becomes, safe passage to where? Israel isn't going to take them, neither is Egypt

West bank maybe?

Jordan might be willing to take some since they aren't WB refugees, KSA could potentially be talked into taking some, MBS would appreciate some demographic weight to press against the Wahhabis as he gets more aggressive about shirking them.

At this point, migrating them to the west bank and then just closing off the borders with Palestine would probably be best. Pull back the Israeli settlers, give Palestine any lands that are majority Palestinians, and just shut off contact with them. The two sides aren't going to come to a unified living situation in the next 100 years, so giving them plenty of space to be their own nation and treating them like any other nation would be best.

Pull back the Israeli settlers

Here's where your plan falls apart. The settlers aren't a hardline third party causing trouble for the government, they're part of an intentional Israeli policy. They want them there, for the entire purpose of calling those areas "not Palestine".

None of the Arab countries have really wanted Palestinian refugees historically. It's been a big issue, and what refugees they have accepted were mistreated historically
