Middle East: Kushner meets Netanyahu: Struggle for Gaza roadmap
Trump's son-in-law is fighting for a compromise on the post-war order in the devastated Gaza Strip. Israel is primarily insisting on the disarmament of Hamas as a prerequisite for reconstruction.
US envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem to discuss the Gaza plan. They agreed to establish two working groups, one to focus on the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip and the other on humanitarian measures, clean water, and public health. Netanyahu's office described the talks as "in-depth and constructive".
Kushner also held talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Hamas representatives in Egypt on Sunday. Israel has rejected the peace plan, with Netanyahu saying the Israeli army will not withdraw until Hamas is disarmed.
