A potential diplomatic mission comes as the Gaza ceasefire faces repeated violations and Washington searches for a workable path through competing demands.<\/p>\n
Jared Kushner, an envoy and son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, may visit Israel next week for talks on Gaza. A source familiar with the matter reported the possible trip.<\/p>\n
Kushner is also expected to hold meetings in Cairo next week with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.<\/p>\n
We agree with the Israelis on the goal of disarming Hamas, but they have raised concerns that are legitimate, and we are working through these issues.<\/p>\n

Talks on the Gaza plan<\/p>\n
According to the source, the main purpose of Jared Kushner\u2019s visit to Israel will be to find a mechanism for further implementing Donald Trump\u2019s 20-point plan for Gaza, which was presented in late 2025.<\/p>\n
To find a way forward in implementing the 20-point plan.<\/p>\n

At the end of July, Donald Trump said that an agreement had been reached on the complete disarmament of Palestinian Hamas militants and other armed groups in Gaza.<\/p>\n
The U.S. president also said that the agreement was to be implemented in stages. Israeli troops would leave Gaza as the groups were disarmed, while security in the enclave would be provided by an International Stabilization Force together with a new Palestinian police force.<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is seeking re-election in a vote scheduled for October, has publicly rejected Donald Trump\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n
Hamas said it agreed to the plan, but stressed that its implementation depended on Israel fulfilling its own commitments. These include withdrawing troops and ending attacks.<\/p>\n
The situation in Gaza and ceasefire violations<\/p>\n
The Gaza ceasefire, which has been in effect since October, has been repeatedly violated. According to Gaza health authorities and Israeli estimates, more than 1,250 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed in Israeli attacks since the truce began. Militants have also killed four Israeli soldiers.<\/p>\n
Hamas generally does not disclose information about its own losses.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s military operation has caused widespread destruction in Gaza, claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people, triggered a hunger crisis, and displaced the enclave\u2019s entire population internally. Human rights experts, academics, and UN investigations have concluded that there are signs of genocide.<\/p>\n
Israel describes its actions as self-defense following an attack by Hamas-led militants in October 2023, when 1,200 people were killed and more than 250 hostages were taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A potential diplomatic mission comes as the Gaza ceasefire faces repeated violations and Washington searches for a workable…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":584053,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[264137,54,264138,57709,85,46,264139,45061,264136,43],"class_list":["post-584052","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-cairo-negotiations","tag-donald-trump","tag-gaza-plan","tag-hamas-disarmament","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-israel-talks","tag-jared-kushner","tag-jared-kushner-gaza-plan-israel-talks-donald-trump-hamas-disarmament-cairo-negotiations","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584052","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584052"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584052\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/584053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584052"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584052"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584052"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
