US President Donald Trump’s top aide Jared Kushner has begun his planned meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem today.
Axar.az reports that an official familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel.
Kushner is joined at Netanyahu’s office by Board of Peace senior envoys Nickolay Mladenov and Tony Blair, the official added. It was not immediately clear who else was participating on the Israeli side.
The meeting comes as the US-backed Board works to advance the 15-point road map to move forward with Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, which Hamas said it agreed to, but Netanyahu publicly rejected, asserting that the terror group must fully disarm before any Israeli withdrawal from the Strip.
The official downplays disagreement between Israel and the US on the plan’s advancement, saying that rather than aiming for Israel’s “signature” on the 15-point plan, today’s meeting is focused on “moving forward on all the elements [of the plan] that we can.”
