Kushner Presses Netanyahu on Gaza Ceasefire Standoff

Jared Kushner spent over four hours in a high-stakes meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, attempting to breathe life into a stalled Gaza ceasefire proposal. The diplomatic push faces a deadlock, as the Israeli Prime Minister refuses to pull troops from the territory until Hamas fully disarms.

Kushner Presses Netanyahu on Gaza Ceasefire Standoff

Netanyahu remains constrained by a precarious political landscape. With national elections approaching, he signaled to his inner circle that making concessions regarding security could alienate his right-wing base. This resistance follows his recent rejection of a 15-point peace plan, further complicating the administration's efforts to broker a durable end to hostilities.

The fundamental friction persists: Israel demands total disarmament before any military retreat, while Hamas insists that withdrawal and demilitarization must occur simultaneously. Despite the stalemate, the two sides agreed to form working groups tasked with addressing the immediate crisis of Gaza’s sanitation infrastructure and the broader requirements for regional demilitarization.
