Jared Kushner reenters as key player in Middle East peace push
The deal includes a ceasefire, release of about 20 hostages, and initial Israeli troop withdrawal, ending a two-year conflict that killed over 67,000 Palestinians, officials said.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump dispatched Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to finalize a U.S.-brokered 20-point peace plan calling for a ceasefire and hostage exchange, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreeing to begin phase one.
- A turning point at the U.N. General Assembly, New York a few weeks ago set up the deal, with Witkoff and Kushner offering concessions that watered down Palestinian statehood language to win Netanyahu’s support.
- They rushed into negotiations and had a deal done by about 2.30am, then Kushner and Witkoff boarded a plane to Egypt, met mediators in Sharm el-Sheikh, and flew to Jerusalem.
- Israel’s cabinet approved the plan a few hours later, and two hundred U.S. troops have begun arriving to stand up a joint task force.
- Described as only phase one, the deal leaves unresolved questions about disarming Hamas and governance, and full implementation requires sustained attention from President Donald Trump and trusted advisers.
