Trump's envoys in Middle East to push for Gaza peace plan
Kushner pressed Egyptian and Hamas officials on a 15-point roadmap that calls for Hamas disarmament, Israeli withdrawal and Gaza reconstruction.
- 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.
