US, Israel weigh a future for the Gaza Strip without Hamas

US and Israeli officials have begun discussing the future of the Gaza Strip after removing Hamas, including the possibility of installing an interim government supported by the United Nations and Arab nations. However, these discussions are still in the early stages and dependent on various factors. Israel has stated that it does not intend to occupy Gaza but finds continued rule by Hamas unacceptable. The US is concerned about the potential consequences of a ground assault and is focused on uniting against terrorists while addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
