Netanyahu and Kushner End Four-Hour Meeting Demanding Hamas Disarmament

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concluded a meeting lasting over four hours with a U.S. delegation regarding the Gaza Strip. The delegation included Jared Kushner, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Nickolay Mladenov, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process. A political source revealed that the discussions centered on requiring Hamas to surrender its weapons under American supervision before any reconstruction efforts in Gaza could proceed.

Netanyahu emphasized during the meeting that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would maintain their current readiness posture and would not retreat from their established security lines. He also affirmed that Israel's policy of targeted assassinations would continue unchanged. The meeting took place amid ongoing tensions and destruction in Gaza, with key figures like Khalil al-Hayya also present in the broader context.

This high-level dialogue reflects ongoing international efforts to manage security and humanitarian concerns in Gaza, with the U.S. playing a central role in mediating conditions for reconstruction and disarmament. No immediate changes to Israeli military policy were announced following the talks.
