  "summary": "Hamas has asked the US-backed Board of Peace to compel Israel to accept a peace plan for Gaza. According to Middle East Eye, Hamas made this request after its leader met with US President Donald Trump's envoy Jared Kushner in Egypt. The group called on the Board and mediating countries to compel Israel to implement its obligations under the first phase of the plan, end all violations, and halt killings and incursions.\n\nThe plan, which was endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803, has been accepted by Palestinian factions, but rejected by Israel, reports Dawn. Eight Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have condemned Israel's rejection of the plan, saying it jeopardizes efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace.\n\nHamas officials met with Jared Kushner in Alamein, Egypt, to discuss Gaza disarmament and governance, with Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators present, reports Ajel English. Kushner pressed for verifiable disarmament, a key demand of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and relayed a message that \"Gaza can never again be a source of terror for Israel\", according to RTE News.",
