US envoy Jared Kushner stated that the Trump administration will not permit the reconstruction of Gaza until Hamas disarms. Kushner, who met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, emphasized that the US will not restrict Israel's right to self-defense amidst ongoing strikes on Gaza. He indicated that a plan exists for Gaza's rebuilding, but it is contingent on demilitarization, citing concerns about resources being taken over by terrorists. Hamas had previously agreed to disarm as part of a US-backed process, but Israel rejected this proposal, demanding full demilitarization first. Kushner aligned with Israel's position, prioritizing Hamas's disarmament before any Israeli withdrawal.
