U.S. negotiator Jared Kushner met with Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya in Cairo on Sunday, marking a rare diplomatic effort to advance the stalled Gaza ceasefire. The meeting aims to salvage a 15-point U.S.-backed road map, which requires Hamas to disarm in Gaza and Israel to withdraw from the territory. At risk are the lives of approximately 2 million people in Gaza, as well as the reconstruction of the enclave now largely under Israeli control, following over 10 months of military operations.
Kushner was accompanied by fellow envoy Steve Witkoff and will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday. The meeting in Egypt with al-Hayya, which helped secure the ceasefire, involved Kushner and Witkoff.
