A senior Palestinian official has confirmed that Donald Trump’s son‑in‑law, Jared Kushner, met a delegation led by Hamas’s new leader Khalil al‑Hayya in Egypt on Sunday marking the highest‑level contact since last year’s ceasefire agreement for Gaza. Please confirm all political information with a trusted source.
Hamas later urged mediators and the US‑led Board of Peace to “compel Israel” to approve the proposed roadmap for next steps in the peace process. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a difficult October election, with members of his coalition pushing for a tougher stance on Gaza, and many Israelis sceptical that Hamas is prepared to disarm.
Kushner’s engagement with Hayya signals a potentially significant shift in diplomatic channels at a moment when regional politics, Israeli domestic pressures and Gaza’s future governance are all in flux.
The meeting reportedly included high‑profile international figures:
Nickolay Mladenov, Gaza’s representative to the Board of Peace
Tony Blair, former UK prime minister
Officials from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, all of whom have played key roles in mediation efforts
No official statement has been released, but discussions reportedly focused on concrete steps toward:
Decommissioning Hamas’s weapons
Withdrawing Israeli troops
Humanitarian arrangements
Future governance of Gaza
A source familiar confirms that partner that the meeting included plans to:
Transfer all governing responsibilities to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza
Ensure Hamas has no future governing role
Facilitate Israeli withdrawals
Deploy an international stabilising force in the region
