Kushner to hold talks with Netanyahu after Hamas meeting
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to meet Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner, a day after he held a rare meeting with Hamas officials in Egypt, in a bid to push forward the US President's Gaza peace plan.
US envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, indicating progress towards disarming Hamas and advancing a Gaza peace plan. According to Kushner, an American general would verify Hamas' disarmament, with disarmament and tunnel filling potentially occurring within 30 to 90 days. Netanyahu insisted on no Israeli pullout from Gaza until Hamas is disarmed.
The understanding aims to satisfy Israel after Netanyahu rejected previous US plan elements. The meeting came a day after Kushner held talks with Hamas in Egypt, where they agreed on no redeployment or reconstruction in Gaza until Hamas disarmament, and that Hamas hands over its weapons for decommissioning under an American general's supervision.
