  "account": "The United Arab Emirates and a coalition of seven other nations have publicly denounced Israel's refusal to abide by President Donald Trump's peace plan aimed at resolving the Gaza conflict. This condemnation arrives a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dismissed the 15-point proposal, insisting that a military withdrawal from Gaza would only occur once Hamas is truly disarmed.\n\nThe U.S. peace envoy and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and Trump's Board of Peace representative for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, were in Egypt on Sunday to engage in ceasefire-related discussions. The foreign ministers from the Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt signed a joint declaration in response to Trump's envoy and son-in-law's efforts.\n\nThe statement emphasized that Israel's rejection of the plan constitutes a direct obstacle to the Comprehensive Plan, thus jeopardizing the progress made by the U.S. in facilitating peace in the region. The ministers implored the Board of Peace and the United States to swiftly implement measures that would protect the integrity of the agreement and prevent any party from hindering its execution.\n\nIn a surprising development, the Hamas delegation participated in the Cairo ceasefire talks, with Kushner reportedly meeting with the group's leader, Khalil al-Hayya. The ongoing negotiations are anticipated to continue, with Kushner scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu the following day.",
