Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's son-in-law, met with Khalil al-Hayya, the new leader of Hamas, in Egypt on Sunday. The meeting aimed to revive Washington's Gaza peace plan, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had previously rejected. Kushner emphasized the need for concrete and verifiable disarmament measures from Hamas, a key condition set by Netanyahu.
Al-Hayya had recently endorsed the latest stage of Trump's proposal, committing to hand over weapons to a new governing committee. The talks took place in El-Alamein, Egypt, marking al-Hayya's first known trip abroad since becoming Hamas' leader in July. Following the discussions, Hamas called on mediators and Trump's Board of Peace to compel Israel to approve the roadmap and establish a timetable for its implementation.
The meeting was attended by Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt, which joined Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, and Indonesia in condemning Israel's rejection of Trump's Gaza plan.
