Middle East: US negotiator Kushner lobbies Netanyahu for Gaza plan
Trump's son-in-law on difficult mission: Jared Kushner wants to explore a compromise, although a deep gap still exists between Israel and Hamas in negotiations on Gaza's future.
Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, is trying to salvage a stalled post-war plan for Gaza. He met with Hamas representatives in Egypt and then with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, amid Netanyahu's rejection of the Washington-backed plan. Netanyahu opposes the plan, which involves a Palestinian transitional administration and international stabilization force taking control of Gaza, citing concerns that Hamas could rearm.
The plan's supporters, including Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, have expressed commitment to its implementation.
