Kushner's talks with Israeli and Kazakh leaders failed to achieve a breakthrough, and the Gaza peace process is deadlocked

(Central News Agency, Washington, 18th, Comprehensive Foreign News Report) U.S. President Trump’s special envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner failed to achieve a breakthrough after two days of talks with the leaders of Israel and Hamas. Israel and Hamas still disagree on key demands for an end to the war in Gaza.

Reuters reported that before Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he held talks with Hamas officials in Egypt to try to advance Trump's Gaza peace plan.

Despite the ceasefire agreement reached in October last year, Israel continues to launch air strikes in Gaza, while Hamas refuses to disarm.

Kushner described the nearly four-hour meeting with Netanyahu as "a good atmosphere" and said the Hamas representative "said everything that needed to be said."

In an interview with Fox News chief international correspondent Trey Yingst, Kushner remained optimistic and said, "We may see progress in as little as 30 days." He hopes that some weapons will begin to be collected by then, and that some tunnels will be filled in the next 60 to 90 days.

Trump announced at the end of July that Hamas had agreed to cooperate with the Board of Peace's 15-point road map to disarm in stages when Israeli troops withdraw from Gaza. Hamas agrees in principle with the Gaza peace road map promoted by the United States, but emphasizes that the prerequisite for implementation is that Israel must first implement a ceasefire, stop military attacks and withdraw its troops from Gaza.

Netanyahu rejected the plan this month, insisting that Israel would not withdraw its troops until Hamas was completely disarmed.

Kushner said the United States would not limit Israel's right to self-defense if there was an imminent threat. He said this still needs further clarification to determine its specific meaning.

Israeli officials said Netanyahu and Kushner also agreed not to start rebuilding Gaza until Hamas disarms.

According to Gaza health officials and the Israeli military, more than 1,200 Palestinians and 4 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since October last year.
