Jared Kushner, the U.S. special envoy, acknowledged that the American administration has only recently grasped the extent of what he described as "militarization" in Gaza, Shehab Wire reported. He said the level of armament far exceeds what Washington had previously imagined, a miscalculation that now complicates efforts toward disarmament in the territory.
The admission underscores a significant gap between U.S. intelligence assessments and the actual military posture on the ground. Kushner's remarks suggest the American government failed to anticipate both the scope and scale of military operations and equipment deployment, forcing policymakers to reassess their approach to the region.
