The agency said a senior U.S. adviser noted that “the idea of creating safe zones in response to reports of executions carried out by Hamas was welcomed by Israel.”
He added that “the United States seeks to establish stability in the Gaza Strip, and plans are underway to form an international force to be deployed to the territory.”
The adviser confirmed that “the force tasked with stabilizing Gaza has begun to take shape” and emphasized that “no one in Gaza will be forced to leave.”
The official also indicated that “several countries have expressed readiness to participate in the Gaza stability force, including Indonesia.”
He noted that “very positive talks are underway to ensure aid reaches Gaza.”
The adviser stressed that funds for Gaza’s reconstruction will not be directed to areas under Hamas control.
Regarding the return of remaining hostages’ remains, the U.S. adviser said: “We are doing our utmost to recover as many bodies as possible,” suggesting the establishment of “a program offering rewards for assistance in locating hostages’ remains.”
He added that Hamas “intends to comply with the agreement to return all deceased hostages’ bodies in Gaza.”
