The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and Middle East envoy, held rare talks in Egypt on Sunday with a Hamas delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya to push a U.S.-backed Gaza peace road map. The 15-point plan calls for Hamas and other armed groups to disarm and demilitarize Gaza, transfer governing authority, and for Israel to withdraw. Kushner also met Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish mediators in Cairo and is expected to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. Netanyahu has rejected the plan, while Israel continued airstrikes in Gaza during the diplomacy.
