Kushner, Hamas delegation in Egypt for Gaza plan talks
The talks in Egypt come as a post-war plan for Gaza has largely been stalled since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was declared last October.
US envoy Jared Kushner met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in El-Alamein on Sunday to discuss US President Donald Trump's plan for Gaza. The plan, known as the 15-point roadmap, has been stalled since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was declared in October. Kushner and a Hamas delegation met separately to discuss implementation, with the roadmap focusing on Hamas disarming and Israeli troops withdrawing from Gaza.
Sisi emphasized the need for all parties to fulfill their obligations under the ceasefire agreement. The Hamas delegation reaffirmed its commitment to the plan, which includes handing over weapons to a Palestinian technical committee. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the plan, insisting on full disarmament of Hamas before any Israeli withdrawal.
The delegation will brief Egyptian officials on Israeli ceasefire violations and stress Hamas' commitment to the agreement. Additional talks are planned between the Hamas delegation, Board of Peace representative Nickolay Mladenov, and US officials to address obstacles and secure Israel's compliance with the agreement.
