Hamas has called on the US and mediators to compel Israel to accept Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza. This comes as Jared Kushner prepares to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has publicly rejected the proposal, marking a rare divergence from US policy. Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have resumed, resulting in casualties, as tensions continue to escalate in the region.
The situation is further complicated by concerns from Israeli officials regarding US demands to halt targeted operations against Hamas militants. Regional powers have condemned Israel's rejection of the peace roadmap, indicating a growing frustration with the ongoing conflict and the stalled diplomatic efforts aimed at resolution.
Watch for potential shifts in US-Israel relations as Kushner's meeting unfolds. The outcome could influence Israel's military strategy and regional alliances. Monitor reactions from Arab states, as their condemnation of Israel's stance may lead to increased diplomatic pressure.
