In a rare and significant development, Jared Kushner, serving as a special envoy for former U.S. President Donald Trump, met with a senior Hamas leader to discuss the proposed Gaza peace plan.
The meeting comes just one week after Israel officially rejected the peace plan put forward by Trump, creating a diplomatic challenge for the initiative.
Details of the meeting remain limited, but it marks an unusual direct contact between a Trump representative and Hamas, which is designated as a terrorist organization by several countries.
The move is seen as an attempt to revive the stalled peace efforts and explore alternative channels after Israel's rejection.
No immediate comment was available from Israeli officials or the Trump team regarding the meeting's outcome.
