Jared Kushner Engages in Rare Talks with Hamas Leader Over Stalled Gaza Peace Plan

POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — Former senior White House advisor Jared Kushner held a rare meeting with a Hamas leader to discuss the stalled 15-point, U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza. The meeting, which took place on Monday, aimed to explore ways to revive the roadmap that has faced significant obstacles.

Kushner is also scheduled to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister on Monday to continue discussions on the peace plan. The 15-point proposal, endorsed by the U.S., seeks to address critical issues in the Israel-Palestine conflict, though progress has been minimal.

The details of the meeting with the Hamas leader remain undisclosed, but sources indicate that the discussions focused on overcoming the current impasse. The peace plan, introduced earlier this year, has yet to gain traction due to various political and security challenges.

This development comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, with recent escalations highlighting the urgency for a viable peace solution. The involvement of Kushner, who played a significant role in previous U.S. efforts to broker peace, underscores the complexity and sensitivity of the negotiations.
