CAIRO: Donald Trump's envoy and son-in-law Jared Kushner discussed the US leader's plan for Gaza with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi on Sunday, hours after Hamas chief Khalil El Hayya met with Cairo's spymaster. Kushner and El Hayya, both in the Mediterranean city of El Alamein, held separate talks on the implementation of Trump's post-war plan for Gaza, which has largely been stalled since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was declared last October.
The meeting between Kushner and Sisi "emphasised the need for all parties to fulfil their obligations under the Gaza Strip ceasefire agreement", according to presidential spokesperson Mohamed El Shennawy. Kushner is set to travel to Israel, which publicly rejected the 15-point road map after Hamas had already agreed to it.
The Hamas delegation, in a meeting with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad, "reaffirmed commitment to completing US President Donald Trump's plan". A Hamas official said that the talks would cover "the latest developments in the negotiations and the efforts being made to compel Israel to abide by the agreement, which includes the 15-point road map, and to begin its implementation". — AFP
