Hamas officials anticipate a meeting with US envoy Jared Kushner in Egypt as the Trump administration attempts to advance a Gaza peace plan. This development follows Hamas’s recent public acceptance of a new phase of a broader deal. Kushner arrived in Egypt en route to Jerusalem for anticipated discussions scheduled for Monday. The US plan, however, has already faced rejection from Israel. The expected talks signify a continued, though contentious, effort by the Trump administration to mediate the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, specifically focusing on conditions in Gaza. The meeting’s outcome remains uncertain given the existing Israeli opposition to the proposed plan. This move highlights a direct engagement channel with Hamas, a group often considered a terrorist organization by Western governments.
