Kushner and Netanyahu Hold Talks on U.S.-Backed 15-Point Gaza Plan

President Trump’s son-in-law and envoy Jared Kushner held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. The meeting did not lead to an agreement for Israel to implement a framework that Hamas previously agreed to. This is Kushner speaking to Fox News. Jared Kushner: “We have a plan to rebuild Gaza, but we will not allow Gaza to be rebuilt until the demilitarization occurs. Nobody wants to put more money into a place that’s gone on for so long, until — if it’s just going to be taken over by terrorists or blown up again.” Hamas had agreed to disarm as part of the U.S.'s 15-point plan, but Israel rejected that proposal. Israel has been conducting near-daily attacks on the Gaza Strip despite last year's so-called ceasefire, killing more than 1,200 people since October. www.democracynow.org
