Did Israel quietly give up nearly 10% of Gaza?
Israel has reportedly withdrawn from Gaza’s Orange Line to the original Yellow Line amid US pressure, reducing its control of the enclave from over 60% to only 53%.
Jared Kushner, the US President Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law, told Fox News that Israel will receive the full backing of the US to "finish the job properly" in Gaza if Hamas refrains from disarming. The meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu followed earlier discussions between Kushner and representatives of the militant group.
Kushner claimed that a "very cordial" encounter with Hamas had taken place, suggesting that disarming the group and moving forward with Trump's peace plan could be achieved within a month. However, he emphasized that the Trump Board of Peace would not impede Israel's right to self-defense in the event of any imminent threats. "We will not allow Gaza to be rebuilt until the demilitarisation occurs," Kushner stated, speaking to Fox News after his talks with Netanyahu.
