Kushner arrived in Israel on Sunday for talks with Netanyahu regarding the Gaza war, and envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to arrive and join the talks as well.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently meeting in his Jerusalem office with the Special Envoy and son-in-law of US President Trump, Jared Kushner. Kushner arrived in Israel on Sunday for talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on implementing the US plan to end the Gaza war, a source familiar with the matter said. Envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to arrive and join the talks as well.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Witkoff and Kushner just last month to discuss developments and updates in the region. Senior Israeli officials estimate that US pressure will push Israel to show flexibility regarding the issue of the terrorists in the Rafah tunnels, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
“Outwardly, everyone declares that Israel will not allow those 100–200 terrorists to leave the tunnels, even if they lay down their arms,” the official said. “But behind closed doors, everyone admits: if there is significant American pressure on this issue, Israel will have no choice but to compromise.” (Ed note: Anyone remember back in 2005 when then President George Bush and PM Ariel Sharon threw the Jews out of a place called Gaza? PM Sharon Sharon got a stroke, and the city of New Orleans got Hurricane Katrina.) (Read More)
