U.S. envoy Jared Kushner holds a rare meeting with Hamas’ leader in Egypt as part of a push to advance a Gaza ceasefire and broader peace framework. Multiple outlets report the meeting takes place Sunday and is followed by Kushner’s planned meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.
The talks focus on salvaging a U.S.-backed, 15-point roadmap. According to sources, the framework calls for Hamas to disarm in Gaza and for Israel to withdraw from Palestinian territory affected by the war. Several reports say the effort seeks progress after the ceasefire remains stalled, with the proposal linked to conditions for both parties.
Outlet coverage is largely consistent on the sequence and purpose. One outlet adds additional context, noting the meeting comes about a week after Israel rejected Donald Trump’s prior Gaza peace plan. Other reports emphasize the roadmap’s specific elements and the attempt to salvage it before or alongside Netanyahu-level discussions.
