Jared Kushner, a former US envoy, met with a Hamas leader in Egypt to advance a peace plan for Gaza. This meeting occurred after Israel rejected Donald Trump's peace proposal for the region. Kushner also met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that Israel would not withdraw until Hamas is disarmed, a condition that led to the rejection of the US plan. Several Arab and Muslim-majority nations issued a joint statement expressing concern that Israel's rejection threatened peace efforts. Despite a ceasefire in place since October 2023, the Israeli Defense Forces have conducted strikes in Gaza, citing Hamas violations. The conflict began with a Hamas-led attack on Israel in October 2023.
