  "account": "Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, met with Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt, as part of diplomatic efforts to progress the stalled Gaza ceasefire. The meeting comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a 15-point US-backed road map, which aims to disarm Hamas and withdraw Israeli forces from Gaza. The talks will also include US envoy Steve Witkoff and US-created Board of Peace director Nickolay Mladenov. The road map's progress has been stalled over Hamas' disarmament, but the group is committed to the plan and awaiting mediators to start a 14-day negotiation period. Netanyahu has called for Israel to control 70% of Gaza before implementing the road map, while Hamas has demanded the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory before implementing the plan.",
