US Envoy Kushner Calls Israeli Government 'a Little Irrational' over Gaza
Kushner said domestic politics are making Israel’s Gaza decisions more difficult as Washington pushes a plan to disarm Hamas and other armed groups.
- On Sunday, Special Envoy Kushner described Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government as "a little irrational" regarding Gaza, citing complications from Israel's upcoming October 27 Knesset election.
- Kushner made these remarks in Kyiv while traveling with Steve Witkoff, following high-level meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
- The Board of Peace plan seeks to pair the decommissioning of Hamas with an Israeli withdrawal, though Israel remains hesitant due to security concerns about post-war arrangements in the territory.
- "Gaza has not worked for a very, very long time," Kushner said, describing the territory as built by NGOs and terrorists and calling it "dystopian" for years.
- While Zelenskyy emphasized territorial issues in ending the war, Witkoff stated that Washington is seeking a diplomatic rather than military resolution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
