Jared Kushner, former White House advisor and architect of the Abraham Accords, revealed that the Israeli military's strike in Rafah was leveraged to pressure Hamas into accepting a hostage and ceasefire deal.
Kushner stated that the strike, which occurred on May 26th, was used as a tool to push for an agreement. He indicated that Israel was not entirely pleased with this approach, suggesting a degree of internal disagreement or strategic maneuvering regarding the use of military action for diplomatic ends.
The specific details of the deal Kushner referred to were not elaborated upon, but the context implies it was a significant proposal aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict and securing the release of hostages held by Hamas. The revelation sheds light on the complex interplay between military operations and diplomatic negotiations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
