Gaza deal: What happened in Hamas-Jared Kushner meeting? Trump's son-in-law to meet Netanyahu next
US envoy Jared Kushner Kushner met Hamas' new leader Khalil al-Hayya on Sunday. He will now meet Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Here's what happened and what's next.
Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and US envoy, will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. Kushner recently met with Hamas' new leader Khalil al-Hayya in El-Alamein, Egypt, marking his second known encounter with representatives of the Palestinian militant group, which is designated a terrorist organization by the United States.
The meeting aimed to revive a US-backed Gaza peace plan, which Israel has rejected thus far. The talks came as the White House and Trump's Board of Peace push for the next phase of the 20-point US peace plan. Hamas reiterated its commitment to the plan but demanded that Israel first fulfill its own commitments, including withdrawal and an end to attacks in Gaza.
