Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - JERUSALEM — US President Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner left Jerusalem on Monday without a breakthrough after two days of talks with Israeli and Hamas leaders over a stalled US plan to end the war in Gaza, with both sides standing firm on key demands.
Kushner met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel a day after meeting the political leader of Hamas in Egypt in a bid to revive the plan.
Kushner described his nearly four-hour meeting with Netanyahu as "good." Kushner added that Hamas representatives said "all the right things."
“We could be seeing progress … in as little as 30 days, hopefully starting to take some of the weapons out, and hopefully, you know, filling in some of the tunnels as well,” Kushner told Fox News in Tel Aviv.
According to reports, Netanyahu insisted that the Israeli military would not withdraw from Gaza unless Hamas disarms first.
Kushner and Trump's Board of Peace envoy for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov, a former United Nations official who is widely seen as leading efforts to implement the plan to end the war, were in Israel after meeting with Hamas political leader Khalil Al-Hayya in Egypt on Sunday.
Hamas' disarmament, however, has been stalled due to its demand for Israel to partially withdraw.
In the rare direct meeting with Kushner, the Hamas leader insisted that Israel must first withdraw its troops from 60% of Gaza that Israel occupies.
It marked Kushner's second known meeting with representatives of Hamas, the Palestinian militant group designated a terrorist movement by the United States.
Kushner previously met Hamas officials alongside US envoy Steve Witkoff in October 2025, helping clinch a deal that led to a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of remaining hostages seized by Hamas.
Kushner and Netanyahu agreed that an American general would verify Hamas’s disarmament, an Israeli official said, as the premier insisted there would be no Israeli pullout from Gaza until then.
The understanding marks a new attempt by the Trump administration to satisfy Israel after Netanyahu, facing a tough re-election fight, publicly rejected the latest part of a US plan aimed at ending the devastating Gaza war.
Kushner, a longtime family friend of Netanyahu, met the Israeli leader in Jerusalem a day after holding rare direct talks in Egypt with Hamas, which has publicly committed itself to the plan.
The two sides “agreed that no redeployment or reconstruction would take place in the Gaza Strip before Hamas is disarmed throughout Gaza,” a senior Israeli official told AFP.
“It was also agreed that the first step toward the demilitarization of the Strip would be to require Hamas to hand over its weapons for decommissioning under the supervision of an American general,” the official said.
A roadmap agreed by Hamas on July 30 said that the decommissioning of weapons would be supervised by the International Stabilization Force, the nascent unit that aims to deploy to Gaza if the situation calms. It is led by US Major General Jasper Jeffers.
Hamas had pledged to hand over its weapons to a new Palestinian governing body, an arrangement that brought skepticism from Netanyahu but which Trump hailed as a breakthrough.
An official with Trump’s “Board of Peace” implementing the deal said that “every weapon collected will be fully decommissioned so it cannot be used again” and said that Israel “retains its full right of self-defense.”
“If Hamas resorts to terror, violence or attempts to rearm, Israel will retain the right to act accordingly,” the official said.
Other Board of Peace members joining Kushner in the talks included former British prime minister Tony Blair.
Kushner in the talks in Egypt had demanded that Hamas prove it is giving up its weapons and that the group renounce any future role in governing the Palestinian territory, according to sources in the negotiation.
A Hamas official said the group, represented by its new leader Khalil Al-Hayya, told Kushner it was committed to the Gaza plan and wanted pressure on Netanyahu.
Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister whose job is on the line in October 27 elections, has increasingly been willing to defy Trump, whose support he once highlighted in his campaign.
The prime minister has also made clear his unhappiness with Trump’s decision to halt the US-Israeli war on Iran launched in late February and instead pursue a settlement with Tehran.
President Isaac Herzog, who plays a largely ceremonial role, offered more upbeat words as he met Kushner, praising the Board of Peace’s “efforts to ensure a brighter and more secure future” for Israel, Gaza and the region.
Israeli operations have killed at least 1,265 Palestinians since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, according to figures by Gaza’s health ministry, which is under Hamas. Its figures are considered reliable by the United Nations.
The Israeli army has reported five deaths in its ranks during Gaza operations over the same period.
