In Jerusalem, US Negotiator Jared Kushner Presses Netanyahu About Gaza Deal

Kushner urged Netanyahu to test Hamas on disarmament as negotiators agreed only on working groups and threat-flagging steps, officials said.

  • Envoy Jared Kushner left Israel on Monday without a breakthrough on the US-proposed Gaza ceasefire deal following discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
  • Negotiations remain deadlocked over disarmament sequencing, as Hamas demands Israel withdraw from 60% of Gaza, while Netanyahu insists Hamas must disarm first before any troop withdrawal.
  • Kushner previously consulted with Hamas political leader Khalil to propose a phased disarmament plan, where Hamas would surrender weapons to a Palestinian authority for destruction.
  • Netanyahu's office termed the discussions "deep and constructive," while a Board of Peace official called the meeting "lengthy, in depth and very productive."
  • The Israel Defense Forces will continue necessary operations until Hamas disarms, as Netanyahu remains skeptical of the group's commitment to demilitarization.
