Talks are underway to allow United States and Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip to exit the territory into Egypt ahead of any land invasion of the territory by Israeli forces, according to a senior Israeli official.
Under the proposal being discussed, all US citizens would be permitted to pass through the Rafah border crossing if they present their US passports, while the movement of other Palestinian civilians would be limited to 2,000 people a day, the official with knowledge of the negotiations told CNN on Wednesday.
Final approval of the arrangement would need to come from the Egyptians, who control the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. The Israeli official said it was “in Israel’s interests” for as many Palestinians as possible to leave Gaza.
Some context: Airstrikes in Gaza have forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes — but there is little room to go. Across the Middle East, Gaza is among the smallest and most densely packed cities.

Palestinians took to the streets with dancing and cheers immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, recently recirculated footage shows.
The video was shared on Twitter earlier this week by Yair Netanyahu — the son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — where it has slowly gathered steam.
“The V sign for victory being displayed in East Jerusalem today among jubilant Palestinians that the United States had been subject to this attack,” reads then-Fox News anchor Brit Hume. “We’re seeing people applauding, clapping, smiling, happy to know that thousands of Americans have died in this sneak attack.”
During a less partisan era, it wasn’t just conservative media that picked up the story. CNN reported that Palestinian youths were praising Osama Bin Laden. On the “Today Show,” host Katie Couric also covered the scene.
“These are Palestinian celebrations in the wake of Tuesday’s terror attacks in the United States,” Couric said. “Palestinians took to the streets saying God is great. People were throwing candy and distributing candy to passers by.”
Nearly 20 years ago CNN reported that Palestinian youths were praising Osama Bin Laden.
This September will mark the 20th anniversary of when al Qaeda suicide terrorists under the command of Bin Laden used hijacked airplanes to destroy the World Trade Center and do serious damage to the Pentagon. A fourth plane recaptured by passengers crashed into a Pennsylvania field.
When it was over, 2,977 Americans were killed, making it the deadliest attack on US soil in American history.
