**Exercise: Set Theory Proof**

**Task:** Either provide a counterexample or prove using the algebra of sets:

\[
\forall A, B, C \subseteq U \quad \left( A \setminus (B \setminus C) = ((A \setminus B) \cup (A \cap C)) \right)
\]

**Explanation:** For all sets \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) within a universe \(U\), prove the given equation or disprove it by finding a counterexample.

**Options:**  
- Proven  
- Disproven  

This task involves exploring the properties of set difference and intersection to determine the validity of the given expression.
