Kushner meets Netanyahu in push for Gaza ceasefire plan
Jared Kushner held talks with Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem as Washington sought Israeli support for a US-backed proposal on Gaza.
Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law and an envoy for the administration, met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday as the White House pressed for movement on its Gaza proposal. The talks were part of a wider effort to secure backing for the plan after recent contacts with Hamas.
According to several reports, Kushner had met Hamas representatives in Egypt a day earlier before travelling to Israel. The sequence of meetings came as US officials tried to narrow differences between the sides over how any deal would be carried out.
Netanyahu has resisted any Israeli pullback while Hamas still has not given up its weapons, leaving a key obstacle in the negotiations. The Trump administration has been looking for signs of progress as it tries to advance the proposal.
The diplomatic effort comes amid continued pressure over the war in Gaza and the broader search for a framework that both Israel and Hamas could accept. The talks in Jerusalem followed a round of indirect engagement in the region and added to a week of intensified shuttle diplomacy.
