The United States is collaborating with Israel to establish a safe zone within Gaza, in areas still under Israeli control. This zone aims to provide refuge for Palestinian civilians who fear retribution from Hamas, following reports of summary executions carried out by the group against suspected rivals and collaborators. The initiative comes as part of the United States' response to these incidents, with American officials urging Hamas to halt its targeting of civilians. While Israel has expressed willingness to cooperate, no official timeline or confirmation of implementation has been provided.
