Hamas Expects Meeting with Kushner as US Pushes Gaza Plan
Hamas says the talks aim to secure a ceasefire roadmap that would trade disarmament for an Israeli pullback and leave reconstruction on hold.
- On Sunday, U.S. peace envoys Jared Kushner and Nickolay Mladenov met with Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators in Cairo to advance President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan, with Hamas officials attending select sessions.
- The U.S. roadmap requires immediate cessation of military operations and Hamas disarmament as Israeli troops withdraw, though conflict remains volatile as Israeli airstrikes resumed in Khan Younis and Nuseirat.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the roadmap on August 9, labeling it "unacceptable" and stating Israel will not withdraw forces until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed, opposing Washington's demand to end targeted assassinations.
- This latest diplomatic push attempts to revive an October ceasefire that failed to end the cycle of violence sparked by the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, complicating efforts to secure lasting stability.
