# US envoy Jared Kushner, son-in-law of president Donald Trump, held rare talks with Hamas’ leaders in Egypt yesterday. Discussions focused on the implementation of Trump’s Board of Peace 15-point plan, which mandated that Hamas disarm in exchange for providing a full Israeli military withdrawal from the Gaza Strip. This will lead to an eventual transition of power to an independent Palestinian National Committee. Israel has rejected the plan. The meeting marked a rare direct engagement between a senior US envoy and Hamas leadership. Kushner also met Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
