  "account": "Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, has visited Israel to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the US-backed Gaza peace plan. This comes after Kushner held rare talks with Hamas to discuss the implementation of the plan. Last month, the Board of Peace, led by Trump, announced agreement for Hamas's \"complete disarmament\" and other conditions for peace in Gaza. However, Israel rejected the plan last week, insisting that Hamas must be disarmed before any Israeli withdrawal. Eight Muslim countries condemned Israel's stance, while a Palestinian official said Kushner met with a delegation led by Hamas's new leader Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt. The Board of Peace, created to broker peace in Gaza, includes envoys Nickolay Mladenov and Tony Blair, along with representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. No official statement has been released on the outcomes of the talks, but it is reported that they focused on concrete steps to disarm Hamas and withdraw Israeli troops, as well as humanitarian efforts.",
