US, Israeli officials will discuss civilian harm in Gaza in early December, says State Dept

Senior US and Israeli officials will hold talks in early December in the first meeting of a new channel requested by Washington to raise concerns over civilian harm in Israel’s war in Gaza, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Tuesday.

US officials have identified nearly 500 potential incidents of harm to civilians in the Palestinian enclave since Oct. 7, 2023 but have not taken action on any of them, sources said last month.
