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.

    In all honesty is would be best if one side left. That would be the only way to really move forward from this and put fighting and death behind everyone. In a few decades the people who fled would have found new homes and to their children and grand children that would be thoer home land

      Yup, no peoples have ever demanded to return to their homeland after more than a few decades. There are absolutely no famous cultural disporas that have ever happened.
