After contacts with Hamas – Kushner and Mladenov met with Netanyahu

The meeting took place immediately after the Council's representatives had contacts with Hamas. The main topic was a 15-point roadmap for a settlement in the Gaza Strip. Hamas expressed readiness to accept the plan, but Israel previously opposed the current version, insisting on the group's full disarmament before troop withdrawal.

An international delegation of the Peace Council, comprising Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and Nikolai Mladenov, held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. The meeting took place shortly after the Council's representatives had contacts with Hamas representatives. This was reported by The Times of Israel. The main topic of discussion was a 15-point roadmap developed under Donald Trump's initiative to resolve the situation in the Gaza Strip. Hamas expressed readiness to accept the plan, but the Israeli side had previously publicly opposed its current version, insisting on the group's full disarmament before the withdrawal of Israeli troops. Sources familiar with the meeting noted that the parties did not aim for an immediate signing of the document. The main task of the diplomatic mission remains the phased coordination of individual elements of the peace agreement on which the negotiating parties have no fundamental disagreements. Earlier, Kursor reported that the US is trying to reach an agreement with Hamas behind Israel's back. Jared Kushner, serving as an adviser to US President Donald Trump, held a meeting in Egypt's El Alamein with Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya. The talks also involved key Peace Council representatives Tony Blair and Nikolai Mladenov, as well as the foreign ministers of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. The main topic was the implementation of the Peace Council's plan for the group's disarmament, approved by Hamas in late July. Kushner called for moving to practical steps, but al-Hayya stated that the organization would begin fulfilling its commitments only after reciprocal steps from Israel. The Hamas leader also reminded of the public criticism of the initiative by Benjamin Netanyahu.
