U.S., Israeli to Discuss Civilian Harm in Gaza in Early December, State Department Says

The official declined to say where the meeting would take place

Senior U.S. 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.

An Oct. 13 letter from officials in President Joe Biden's administration to Israel's government said previous channels were not working and asked for a new channel to meet virtually before the end of that month.

Miller said at a press briefing that a first meeting had been scheduled to gather information about incidents involving Israel's use of U.S.-provided weapons that are "a cause of concern or a cause of question." He declined to say where the meeting would take place.
