US envoy Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, held talks with Hamas leaders in Egypt on Sunday to advance a Gaza proposal that Israel has already rejected, sources with knowledge of the discussions told Middle East Eye. The meeting represents direct diplomatic engagement between the Trump administration and the Palestinian militant group as efforts continue to shape post-war arrangements in Gaza.
The substance of Sunday's talks remained undisclosed. Kushner's involvement signals the administration's intention to pursue its own framework for Gaza despite Israeli opposition, positioning the envoy as a key player in Middle East diplomacy under the new Trump presidency.
