Kushner Meets With Hamas Leader Amid Gaza Disarmament Map Talks

Jared Kushner, senior White House adviser, met with a leader of Hamas. This meeting formed part of an effort to advance a new 15-point roadmap for the Gaza Strip. The United States supports this roadmap.

The plan outlines specific actions for both Hamas and Israel. It calls for Hamas to disarm within Gaza. Concurrently, it requires Israel to withdraw its forces from the Palestinian territory. Recent conflict has affected Gaza.

Kushner has scheduled a subsequent meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These discussions follow the meeting with the Hamas leader.
