0:00 / 1:05

United States special envoy Jared Kushner announced that progress toward disarming Hamas and advancing a US backed Gaza peace plan could begin within the next thirty days. Speaking in Tel Aviv following high level discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Kushner stated that weapons surrenders and tunnel infrastructure destruction might soon commence. The diplomatic push followed a rare face to face meeting between Kushner and senior Hamas leader Khalil al Hayya in Cairo. Netanyahu previously rejected a fifteen point US proposal, insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until Hamas is completely disarmed. During Monday talks, Israeli and US officials agreed to establish working groups focused on disarmament, demilitarization, and regional public health initiatives. Hamas maintains that Israel must halt military operations and withdraw from occupied areas before disarmament negotiations proceed. Meanwhile, regional powers condemned the obstruction of peace efforts as international mediators negotiate peace.
