In Cairo negotiations, Jared Kushner, President Trump's envoy, met with Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya to secure a clear commitment from Hamas to disarm and cease military buildup in Gaza. U.S. intelligence informed the peace council that some Hamas factions plan to deceive and not fully disarm, prompting Kushner to issue a stern warning: if Hamas attempts to renege, the process will halt and Israel will act without restraint. Kushner emphasized Israel's distrust and stressed that Hamas must fully comply if Israel fulfills its obligations.
Sources from the peace council revealed Kushner's concern that the ongoing situation risks isolating Israel diplomatically and perpetuating Hamas' armed control over Gaza. He aims to avoid repeating the failed approaches of the past two decades since Hamas took over Gaza. The council views Israel's position as "win-win," stating that if Israel honors its agreements but Hamas fails, Israel will gain international legitimacy to address the threat as needed.
Hamas leaders, according to peace council sources, have pledged to implement all 20 points of the disarmament plan, including the complete demilitarization of the group. The council warned that if Israel appears to sabotage the plan, it risks losing diplomatic credit and prolonging Hamas' rule. The outcome hinges on Hamas' adherence to the agreement and Israel's measured response.
