Kushner meets Netanyahu on Gaza ceasefire as Israeli strikes continue
US negotiator Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss a US-backed Gaza truce plan, as Israeli military operations continued despite US requests to reduce attacks.
Kushner, a Middle East negotiator and Trump son-in-law, held meetings with Netanyahu after the Israeli premier rejected a 15-point US-backed roadmap intended to advance ceasefire negotiations. Just two days after US negotiators reportedly urged Israel to scale back military operations in Gaza, Israeli strikes killed at least 10 people, undermining progress toward a deal.
