US envoy Jared Kushner meets Hamas leadership on Sunday to press a US-backed plan for moving stalled ceasefire talks in Gaza, before holding talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.
The meetings focus on a 15-point “road map” that links Hamas disarmament in Gaza with Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian territory affected by the war. Multiple outlets report that Kushner’s outreach follows a period of limited progress and comes as the US tries to secure Israel’s approval of the plan.
Several sources note that Netanyahu recently rejected the US roadmap, setting up the Monday meeting as an effort to revisit or salvage the proposal. Al Jazeera and BBC Sport also frame the diplomacy as a rare, high-level push aimed at restarting negotiations after Israel’s refusal. Overall, the coverage aligns on the sequence of talks—Hamas first, then Netanyahu—and on the central role of the US roadmap, while differing mainly in how they characterize the urgency and implications of Israel’s initial rejection.
