Kushner, Netanyahu agree on path forward for Gaza, Board of Peace official says An agreement was reached on Monday between President Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a path forward for the war on Gaza after a "lengthy, in depth, and very productive" meeting, a Board of Peace official said, according to Reuters. 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 demilitarisation 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.
