The United States has only begun to grasp the scale of Gaza’s current level of militarization, US envoy Jared Kushner told reporters in Kyiv on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re now starting to understand the scope of the militarization of Gaza,\u201d Kushner said. \u201cIt is beyond your comprehension, and so demilitarizing it is not going to be easy.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also said that the US had worked with Hamas<\/a> for more than four months, and that the terror group had signed an agreement committing to demilitarization.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t go in if there\u2019s guns, right? You can\u2019t send the government into a place,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Turning to Israel, Kushner said Washington and Jerusalem agree on the desired end state, but that political considerations in Israel are complicating the process.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re working through some political issues in Israel. I think we agree with them on the end state,\u201d he said. \u201cThey just have a crazy election<\/a>, and that makes them a little irrational in certain regards, but we\u2019re very determined that we\u2019re working through these things.\u201d<\/p>\n
