Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner said the strike in Doha left Israel isolated and gave the U.S. an opening to pressure it to advance a deal. He said officials in Jerusalem initially had reservations but were ultimately pleased with the outcome.

After a four-hour meeting in Jerusalem, U.S. envoy Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed that Hamas' disarmament is a prerequisite for any Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Israel is demanding that oversight of the terror group's disarmament be exclusively American, with no Turkish or Qatari involvement.
