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.
This is ethnic cleansing dressed up in the clothes of protecting civilians.
If they leave, they will never be allowed back to their homeland. If they don't leave, they must be legitimate targets for bombing.It is important to recognize that this is going to happen regardless of if it is right or not. Palestine is probably going to cease to exist in the coming months. The leaders of the western world have decided to back Israel in this conflict... This doesn't mean it's right. We should absolutely call it out... But this is happening.
Now we have to decide if we let the civilians live or die.

Well it removes the "Palestinians are in an open air prison" arguement. Also gives armed forces less places to hide and if they choose to wipe out Hamas they can pull the "anyone who stays is a combatant" card.
There are civilians on both sides who just want to exist and get out of conflict - they need a chance.
TBA how well it goes.
I’m gonna guess Egypt.
Honestly, after this all shakes out, I think Gaza might not exist anymore. To be clear, that’s not a statement of desire - I just think that that’s a very likely outcome at this point.
Probably Egypt
This is the right answer. They’ve bombed the evacuation point they were promoting, but that’s what they were saying.
Egypt probably doesn't want a million refugees. No country would. This is becoming WW2 all over again.
The West Bank maybe?
India
i guess thats one way to complete the conquest started in 1947
"Safe Passage" is actually the code name for the next military "aid" package.
Can you imagine if Jared fucking Kushner was still "in charge" of Israel/Palestine relations?!
Do you think he is not involved?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - 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.
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.
Gazans have lived under an Israeli-led blockade for 16 years, since Hamas seized control of the territory in 2007.
Israel's embassy in Washington said the death toll from Hamas' weekend attacks had surpassed 1,000.
Palestinians in Gaza have said that Israeli bombardment has been heavy and feels like a new "Nakba," the Arabic word for catastrophe that refers to the 1948 war of Israel's creation that led to their mass dispossession.
