Jared Kushner

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.

Senior US officials said ahead of the meeting that Witkoff and Kushner arrived in Israel to meet with Netanyahu in order to review the key issues related to Gaza.

The Board of Peace estimates that more than $25 billion will be needed to develop modern utilities and public services.

The emergence of a Palestinian technocratic governing committee alongside Trump’s US-backed Board of Peace has triggered sharp Israeli backlash, exposing cabinet rifts and deep unease.

Ministers said Kushner “derailed” Israel’s 2020 sovereignty declaration and continues to pose obstacles because of close political and economic links with Arab leaders.
