Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and Gaza envoy, said Monday that Israel can "finish the job properly" in Gaza if Hamas does not disarm, the Middle East Eye reported. Kushner described a recent meeting with Hamas as "very cordial" and indicated that persuading the group to lay down weapons remained a key objective.
Kushner tied Israeli military capability in Gaza to Hamas's willingness to surrender arms. The comments reflect the Trump administration's negotiating position as discussions continued over potential resolution terms for the conflict.
