Kushner said Hamas could begin surrendering weapons in about a month as the United States ties Gaza rebuilding to demilitarization.
- On Monday, US envoy Jared Kushner stated that progress on Gaza disarmament and tunnel destruction could materialize within 30 days, with filling tunnels potentially completed in 60 to 90 days.
- A high-level American delegation led by Kushner met Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt on Sunday to narrow gaps over Hamas's disarmament, Israel's withdrawal, and Gaza's future governance.
- Kushner warned that Hamas must disarm "willingly over the next 60 to 90 days" or face increased Israeli military action, as Washington demands concrete, verifiable steps toward demilitarization.

- The Trump administration remains committed to rebuilding Gaza, though reconstruction is strictly contingent upon complete demilitarization and transfer of governing authority to a non-Hamas body.
