The rare direct meeting afforded Kushner an opportunity to press Hamas for specifics on a disarmament plan, warning that Israel doesn't trust Hamas to go through with the promise.
Seven years ago, President Trump failed to disarm North Korea and walked away. Could the same thing happen with Iran?
President Trump adviser Jared Kushner told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday that the U.S. wants Israel to take "small steps" in Gaza to test whether Hamas' commitment to start disarming is genuine, a U.S. official said. Why it matters: The four-hour meeting took place amid deep skepticism from Netanyahu about the U.S. plan for Gaza — and ahead of an October election that makes the Israeli leader reluctant to offer significant concessions on the politically sensitive issue. - While the meeting helped clarify misunderstandings, addressed some of Netanyahu's concerns and produced a joint understanding on how to move forward, it also crystallized the remaining differences and made clear how difficult near-term…
The rare direct meeting afforded Kushner an opportunity to press Hamas for specifics on a disarmament plan, warning that Israel doesn't trust Hamas to go through with the promise.

Why it matters: This was Kushner's first meeting with Hamas leaders since the signing of the agreement to end the war in Gaza last October . - The unusual meeting came as the White House and Trump's Board of Peace push both Hamas and Israel to move to the next phase of the U.S. 20-point peace plan. - Kushner is expected to visit Israel on Monday and meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss "corresponding steps" Israel must take, the source said. Behind the scenes: Board of Peace high representative Nickolay Mladenov and former British…
AI:President Trump's envoy Jared Kushner met with Hamas leaders in Egypt to demand they fulfill disarmament obligations as part of the administration's Board of Peace peace plan. Joined by high-level representatives like Tony Blair and Egyptian intelligence officials, Kushner pushed for concrete, verifiable steps toward the complete decommissioning of Hamas weapons and military infrastructure. The push seeks to transition governance in Gaza to a Palestinian technocratic body, ensuring Hamas has no future role in regional leadership. As part of this strategic pressure, Kushner is set to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu to coordinate Israeli withdrawals and humanitarian efforts contingent upon Hamas's compliance with total demilitarization to…Open
‘A successful conclusion’
AI:In a major victory for law-abiding citizens and the Second Amendment, the Department of Justice has finally forced Los Angeles County to cease its deliberate obstruction of concealed carry weapon permits. For far too long, this blue stronghold has used bureaucratic foot-dragging as a silent tool to disenfranchise gun owners, effectively implementing a soft ban through administrative paralysis. While the leftist media establishment remains predictably silent about this localized disarmament campaign, the DOJ's intervention ensures that constitutional rights can no longer be strangled by local officials hiding behind "procedural delays." This successful conclusion marks a significant blow to the radical agenda aimed at disarming urban…Open
Jared Kushner, President Trump's envoy and son-in-law, is planning to visit Israel next week for talks on the situation in Gaza , according to five sources with knowledge of the plan. Why it matters: This would be Kushner's first trip to Israel since January. It comes as the White House and Trump's Board of Peace are trying to push forward with the next phase of the Gaza plan, which focuses on disarming Hamas and a potential Israeli withdrawal. - The Netanyahu government is highly skeptical of the U.S. Gaza plan, and the upcoming election in October is making the issue even more politically sensitive. - "We see eye-to-eye on the strategic goal, but Israel has expressed some doubts about the plan and we want to talk to them in order to…
AI:Jared Kushner is heading back to Israel next week to spearhead high-stakes negotiations regarding the Gaza plan, marking his first visit since January. While the White House and Trump's Board of Peace are aggressively pushing for a new phase focused on disarming Hamas and a potential Israeli withdrawal, Netanyahu’s government remains deeply skeptical of these terms. This diplomatic maneuver comes at a volatile moment as October's elections loom, making every concession politically explosive for Bibi's struggling administration. While the establishment press might frame this as standard diplomacy, it is clearly an urgent attempt to coordinate strategic goals and force a resolution before the political landscape shifts entirely under the…Open
The signs point to Hamas being serious about disarming. The recent Board of Peace plan for it to surrender its weapons should be carried out.
AI:Muhammad Shehada makes a desperate plea for the implementation of the Board of Peace roadmap, claiming Hamas shows a newfound willingness to surrender its arsenal. This sudden pivot appears to be nothing more than tactical maneuvering aimed at exploiting international sympathy, even as previous attempts at stability have been undermined by radical elements in the region. The narrative being pushed suggests that disarmament is the sole path forward, conveniently ignoring the reality of ongoing hostilities and the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding the Rafah border.Open
