Sources reveal to CNN details of discussions on safe passage from Gaza, which Egypt denies
ATLANTA, USA (CNN) – The U.S. government is in discussions with partner countries, including Egypt and Israel, to ensure safe passage for Americans and other citizens from the Gaza Strip, U.S. officials told CNN.
But according to a US source, Egypt wants to use the humanitarian corridor to send food and medical supplies to Gaza, but does not want to open the border in the other direction to receive civilians fleeing the Strip.
US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said on CNN on Wednesday: “We believe it is important to allow American citizens in Gaza to leave, and that is an issue we are working on.”
“We’re doing it quietly, like many other diplomatic efforts we undertake,” Miller added. “It’s not constructive to talk about it publicly, but we’re doing it. It’s something we’re trying to accomplish.”
As pressure to establish a humanitarian corridor mounts, Americans in Gaza who spoke to CNN expressed fear and frustration over the situation as they are trapped without a safe route out of the area, which has been heavily bombarded by Israeli forces.
They told CNN they didn’t think the US government would be able to help them, and there were reports that the only route to Gaza – through Egypt – had been closed by airstrikes on Tuesday and that Israeli ground forces were threatening to invade.
“We have had discussions with our counterparts in Israel and with our counterparts in Egypt,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.
Sullivan added, “Without going into the details of safe passage for the public and so on, I would say that’s something the US government is interested in how to implement in practice.”
Neither Sullivan nor Miller provided a timeline for when the safe corridor would be operational.
The U.S. national security adviser spoke with Abbas Kamel, the director of the General Intelligence Service in Egypt, over the past few days, and officials expect U.S. President Joe Biden to speak later with his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
“Our priority is protecting the safety and security of Americans abroad,” Miller said Wednesday. “As the president said yesterday, we don’t want civilians killed anywhere. We want to protect civilians. We want to make sure that civilians are not targeted. We expect Israel to follow the laws of war.

The US Bloomberg agency quoted Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayeh as saying that the Palestinian Authority is working with US officials on a plan to manage the Gaza Strip after the end of the war.
The preferred outcome of the conflict is for the Islamist movement (Hamas) currently operating in the Gaza Strip to become a junior partner in Palestinian liberation, Shtaeyeh said in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday from his headquarters in Ramallah. The organization aims to establish a new independent state that includes the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Jerusalem.
Shtayeh said that the Palestinians should not be divided and that Israel’s goal of completely eliminating Hamas is unrealistic, and that there is room for negotiation if Hamas is willing to accept the PLO’s political approach and reach an agreement.
Phil Gordon, the US vice president’s national security adviser, held discussions with Palestinian officials in Ramallah about the “revitalization” of the Palestinian Authority, the White House said last Wednesday.
He insisted that a revived Palestinian Authority would be able to govern the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
According to the White House, he emphasized the need to strengthen the Palestinian Authority’s security forces to eventually take over responsibilities in Gaza.
In a related context, the British newspaper The Times said that a British military team is operating in the West Bank to prepare the Palestinian Authority to take over the administration of the Gaza Strip.
According to Israeli figures, 1,200 people were killed and about 240 detained and captured after attacks on Israeli cities on October 7, after which Israel pledged to eliminate Hamas.
More than 17,170 Palestinians have been killed and about 46,000 injured since Israel began shelling the Gaza Strip following the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation in response to the occupation, according to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip. Against the Palestinian people and their sanctity.
