US envoy Jared Kushner meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday after holding talks with Hamas leaders in Egypt. The meetings aim to revive a US-backed Gaza peace plan that Israel has previously rejected.
The outlets describe Kushner’s Egypt talks as a rare engagement with Hamas, with the visit positioned as an effort to move the proposed framework forward. France 24 says the trip follows discussions in Egypt intended to restart negotiations around the plan, while South China Morning Post frames the outreach as occurring against the backdrop of Israel’s political context ahead of an October election. Channel NewsAsia reports the same sequence of events but provides no additional details in the supplied text.
Across coverage, the core issue remains the same: Israel has not accepted a US-backed proposal that, according to reporting elsewhere, links Hamas disarmament to Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Kushner’s meeting with Netanyahu is presented as the next step in trying to secure Israeli buy-in.
