Kushner sits with Netanyahu to talk Gaza after 2-hour meeting with Hamas

Jared Kushner met with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the premier rejected a U.S.-backed road map intended to move a truce deal forward in Gaza. The roadmap, which includes disarmament, was challenged by Israel, as it demands that Hamas fully disarm before any Israeli withdrawal can occur. Meanwhile, regional powers including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates issued statements condemning Israel’s rejection of the plan.
