Kushner Meets Hamas in Egypt to Push Trump's Gaza Peace Plan

Jared Kushner, a special envoy for former President Donald Trump, held a significant meeting with Hamas leaders in Egypt. This rare encounter aimed to advance a US-backed peace plan for Gaza, which includes provisions for Hamas to disarm and Israeli forces to withdraw from the territory.

Kushner's meeting with Hamas's political chief precedes his planned talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The diplomatic push comes at a critical juncture, as Israel has recently resumed airstrikes in Gaza and has expressed concerns about US demands to cease targeted assassinations of Hamas militants. The US plan seeks an immediate cessation of military operations and a pathway toward rebuilding the war-torn Palestinian territory.
