WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - The U.S. is talking with Israel and Egypt about the idea of a safe passage for Gaza civilians as Israel strikes the enclave after a deadly Hamas attack over the weekend, U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.
"We are focused on this question, there are consultations going on," Sullivan told reporters at the White House.
"But the details of that are something that are being discussed among the operational agencies and I don't want to share too much of that publicly at this time," Sullivan said.
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 900 Palestinians were killed and up to 4,600 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.

It’s already our problem, Hamas is here, just waiting for the signal.
I wonder if this has anything to do with the positioning of the aircraft carrier groups.
Boy, would that be f’d up to use them as refugee transport ships. Especially, for this bunch.
But, if Obama is calling the shots for Biden, nothing is too far-fetched.
The Arab states could built them a great nation with all the money they are paying for terrorism against Israel
It sounds like the friggin’ demented pedophile wants to import Muslim baby beheaders and murderers right here to America. I wonder if he’ll make them wade across the Rio Grande too.
BiteMe will take these savages in here. They have been thrown out of every country they have set foot in.
I am all for safe passage for folks in Gaza to go to Egypt, until the place is emptied. The people there this week confirmed they cannot leave in peace with their neighbor Israel and they will forever remain a thret to Israel.
I’d say that this is still a little too close to Israel. Libya or Tunisia? OK.
My feeling is Egypt doesn’t want them either.
Their entire economy is based on tourism and adding more terrorists to their pie is not going to go well.
The Arab states have a lot of land but most of it is desert. Iraq has 11.5% arable land, Egypt 2.9%, Jordan 2.3%, Libya 1%, etc. Plus some of them are already pretty crowded—Egypt has more than 100 million inhabitants. Where the Palestinian refugees settled in large numbers it has caused major problems for the host countries (Jordan and Lebanon). Jordan gives them citizenship but I think elsewhere they remain foreigners.
This will be another excellent success of immigrants.
“Gazans can go to Egypt.”
The Fakestinians have been kicked out of every country they’ve been in.
Jordan kicked them out.
Lebanon kicked them out.
Egypt kicked them out.
Several years ago Israel tried to hand Gaza off to the Egyptians. Egypt said HELL no.
Iran sees them as canon fodder and little else.
They are the bastard children of the middle east.
The hell with protecting those “citizens”...
They exist, from the age of 4. purely to destroy Jews and Christians wherever they exist...
I wouldn’t frame it as arrogance; they fully expect Israeli response.
They won’t ever move their civilians in anticipation of a response.The civilians are merely fodder for the public relations campaign. Or hostages to preclude an attack - that’s historical and current record.
