Kushner to meet Netanyahu after talks with Hamas leaders US envoy Jared Kushner is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after holding talks with Hamas leaders in Egypt, as Washington seeks to revive a Gaza peace plan endorsed by Hamas but rejected by Israel. Netanyahu has insisted that any settlement must ensure Hamas is “genuinely disarmed”. Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, met Hamas’s new leader Khalil al-Hayya in the Egyptian city of el-Alamein on Sunday, AFP reported. The US envoy urged Hamas to take “concrete, verifiable steps” and conveyed that “Gaza can never again be a source of terror for Israel”, while the group reiterated its commitment to the proposed plan, the report said.
