Seven nations condemned Israel on Sunday for rejecting a renewed attempt to implement US President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, as Jared Kushner met with Hamas leaders in Egypt. The UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey and Saudi Arabia joined Egypt in a joint statement, blaming Israel for obstructing peace efforts.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to agree to the US-backed Board of Peace's disarmament plan for Hamas, a crucial step in Trump's proposal. Kushner visited Egypt on Sunday to assist in advancing the plan, alongside representatives from Gaza's Board of Peace and senior mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey. Hamas accepted the 15-point framework for disarming and withdrawing Israeli forces, but Netanyahu rejected it in a Cabinet meeting on August 9.
The US identifies Hamas as a terrorist organization. The drama underscores the Trump administration's renewed push to implement the Gaza peace plan.
