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.
A source familiar with the talks told CBS News the BBC’s US 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
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.
