Kushner to Meet Netanyahu After Israel Rejects Trump's Gaza Roadmap

Jared Kushner, senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, is slated to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the coming days, according to sources familiar with the schedule. The meeting follows Israel’s formal rejection of the Trump administration’s 15‑point Gaza roadmap, a proposal that called for a phased cease‑fire, reconstruction efforts and a pathway toward a Palestinian state in exchange for security guarantees. Israeli officials said the plan failed to address core security concerns and offered insufficient guarantees regarding Hamas, leading to its dismissal by the Israeli cabinet.

Kushner’s upcoming talks are expected to focus on alternative diplomatic avenues for de‑escalation in the Gaza Strip and to assess the United States’ role in any future negotiations. The engagement underscores Washington’s continued interest in shaping the conflict’s resolution despite the setback of the rejected roadmap, and it may set the stage for further coordination between the two governments on security and humanitarian initiatives in the region.
