Jared Kushner Meets With Benjamin Netanyahu to Negotiate Gaza Ceasefire Amidst Ongoing Israeli Airstrikes

Jared Kushner, a U.S. negotiator and son-in-law of President Trump, held a marathon meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a tenuous ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. During the discussions, the administration announced that Hamas had agreed to disarm, though Hamas maintains it would only do so if Israel halts strikes and withdraws. Netanyahu has pushed back on the deal, stating that Israel will not withdraw until Hamas is completely disarmed. While negotiations continue, Israeli military strikes have caused significant casualties. At least 10 people were allegedly killed by Israeli forces in two separate attacks on a Gaza City police post and the Nuseirat refugee camp. Hamas has condemned these strikes as a new war crime, accusing the Israeli government of deliberately targeting civilians. The administration also took action on the international stage, imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court's president and a senior prosecutor who investigated Israeli officials. Meanwhile, in domestic policy, the administration announced plans to open 45 million acres of wilderness in national forests to road construction and logging, seeking to increase timber production.
