Trump adviser says US, Israel to set up ‘safe zone’ for Gaza civilians who fear Hamas

The US and Israel are working to establish “safe zones” in areas controlled by Israeli troops in Gaza for civilians fearing Hamas retribution, The Times of Israel reports, citing an unnamed senior Trump adviser.

During a briefing with reporters, the unnamed adviser said, “the US is working with Israel to try and create some space in the safe zone behind the Yellow Line for people who feel [under] threat to be able to go.”

“This is in response to the reports we’ve been seeing of Hamas executing rivals,” he said.

The comments come after Hamas published a video this week showing its fighters executing eight blindfolded and bound men they claimed were “collaborators and outlaws”.

The Israeli military has continued its assault on civilians in Gaza in the days following the ceasefire, including an air strike on Wednesday that killed three Palestinians.

Israeli forces also opened fire on Palestinian civilians in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City on Tuesday, killing five.

Safe zones for the ISIS affiliated gangs Israel has been funding and arming in Gaza, like the Popular Forces but also the GHF.

Safe zones for collaborators and criminals to regroup and get re-armed by Israel... Popular Forces were already operating from behind Israeli lines, so that's nothing new. Just media spin.
