Jared Kushner is scheduled to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel according to the Washington Post. NPR reports that Kushner held meetings with Hamas representatives on a Gaza road map prior to the Netanyahu talks. Available sourcing is limited to two left-center outlets, with the Hamas component subject to factual scrutiny.
Kushner's meetings continue a flawed approach prioritizing Israeli security over Palestinian rights and humanitarian needs in Gaza.
