Jared Kushner: Israeli Elections Make Government 'Irrational' on Gaza
Former White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner stated during a visit to Kyiv that Israel's upcoming elections are making the Israeli government "a little irrational" in its decision-making regarding the Gaza Strip. Kushner, who was in Ukraine to participate in war negotiations, commented on the situation in Gaza and efforts to disarm Hamas.
He explained that while the United States and Israel agree on the desired "end state" for Gaza, the ongoing election cycle in Israel is impacting the government's approach. "They just have crazy elections, and it makes them a little irrational in certain aspects," Kushner remarked at a press conference.
The "Board of Peace" initiative, aimed at disarming Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, has stalled due to Israeli opposition, according to the report. This plan was intended to be integrated with an Israeli withdrawal from the territory.
Despite disagreements on implementation, Kushner emphasized that consensus exists between the U.S. and Israel on the ultimate goal for Gaza. He attributed the primary difficulties to Israel's political situation and the impending elections, scheduled for next month.
