Kushner meets Netanyahu after talks with Hamas

US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner has begun a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, alongside senior Board of Peace envoys Nickolay Mladenov and Tony Blair.

The meeting follows talks with Hamas as the US-backed Board of Peace seeks to advance a 15-point roadmap for implementing Trump’s Gaza peace plan, Caliber.Az reports, citing Israeli media.

Hamas has said it agreed to the plan, while Netanyahu has publicly rejected it, saying the group must fully disarm before any Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.

An official familiar with the meeting said there was no immediate indication of who else was taking part on the Israeli side.

The official also played down differences between Israel and the US over the plan, saying the meeting was focused not on securing Israel’s “signature” on the 15-point plan, but on “moving forward on all the elements [of the plan] that we can.”
