Jared Kushner lands in Israel in bid to save Gaza truce after meeting Hamas officials in Cairo

U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser, Jared Kushner, arrived in Israel after engaging with Hamas officials in Cairo, Egypt, according to a Palestinian source. The visit occurred in an attempt to revive the U.S. president's Gaza peace plan, which Israel has rejected thus far. During his presence alongside representatives from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, Kushner met with Hamas leaders.

This development comes amid ongoing tensions, with Israel intensifying airstrikes in the Gaza Strip following a recent conflict. The United Arab Emirates, a key ally of Israel, joined seven other Muslim nations in criticizing Jerusalem's stance on the U.S. peace proposal, stating it undermines the shared efforts to achieve a lasting peace.

Meanwhile, Israel's Likud party displayed a billboard featuring New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani alongside the leaders of Iran, Hezbollah, and Turkey, insinuating Netanyahu should be removed from office.
