U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy Jared Kushner meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a Gaza plan after a prior meeting with Hamas that lasted about two hours, according to multiple outlets. The talks are presented as part of Kushner’s efforts to advance a stalled U.S.-backed approach for Gaza.
Reports agree that Kushner’s meeting with Hamas is relatively rare and that it follows difficulties in negotiations over Gaza. Several outlets describe the Netanyahu meeting as Kushner’s next step after those Hamas discussions, with the focus on how any proposed plan could proceed amid ongoing uncertainty. At the same time, sources frame the broader diplomatic situation as fragile, with outlets pointing to the lack of clear movement in the overall peace process.
While all accounts cover the same sequence—Kushner meets Hamas, then Netanyahu—outlets differ slightly in emphasis. Some stress the timing and duration of the Hamas meeting, others highlight the novelty of the contact, and others frame it as the envoy’s second known encounter with Hamas as the wider plan remains contested.
