Jared Kushner

The Trump administration has told Iran it expects meaningful concessions at the next round of talks, as Tehran rules out halting uranium enrichment, sources told The Jerusalem Post.

The talks were attended by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, US Central Command head General Brad Cooper, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Sources close to Hamas say the terrorist group has yet to start talks on disarming, a move that is meant to precede the start of rebuilding Gaza's destroyed cities.

A meeting between US and Iranian officials in Istanbul is seen as a best-case scenario, sources familiar with the plans said.

Speaking at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Rubio said there might be a U.S. presence in the follow-up Ukraine talks, but Trump, Witkoff, and Kushner will not be involved.

Regional expectations are growing that the Rafah crossing will reopen this week, but doubts remain over how fully Israel will allow movement, as the ceasefire enters a critical stage.

Trump praised the terror group for "working very hard" to return the remains of St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili, whose remains were located and returned to Israel earlier on Monday.

Leaders across Israel paid tribute as the remains of St.-Sgt.-Maj. Ran Gvili were brought home, closing the chapter of Israeli hostages held in Gaza.

Israelis saw exactly what Kushner's new plan meant. Gaza gets a global reconstruction windfall for starting the war. Israel gets reprimanded for winning it.

In recent weeks, Israel has stated that without the return of slain hostage Ran Gvili, the crossing would not be opened to Gazans.
