The talks aim to advance a 15-point Gaza plan that Israel had previously rejected. The day before, Kushner had a rare meeting with Hamas leaders in Egypt to discuss translating roadmap obligations into concrete and verifiable steps. The plan, proposed by the US-led "Peace Committee," aims for Hamas to gradually disarm and transfer governance of the Gaza Strip to an international force, in exchange for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Netanyahu publicly rejected the plan due to his opposition to this clause, while Hamas stated its acceptance, but only if Israel first fulfills its commitments, including troop withdrawal and cessation of attacks.
