He met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahu to seek backing after Israel previously rejected the plan, which involves establishing two working groups: one focused on disarmament and demilitarization of Gaza, and another on sanitation and public health issues. Israel has expressed concerns about Hamas\u2019s willingness to fully disarm before any withdrawal, emphasizing the need for complete disarmament of all weapons, whereas Hamas has been hesitant to commit until Israel abides by a ceasefire agreement.Kushner also held talks with Hamas leader Khalil al Hayya, marking a rare direct engagement, and emphasized the importance of Hamas beginning disarmament. The Board of Peace insists that complete disarmament is a prerequisite for Israeli withdrawal, while Netanyahu has rejected the plan, insisting on full disarmament first. The process is expected to take between 200 and 350 days, with officials believing Israel will give the initiative a chance, though much depends on Hamas\u2019s compliance.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> son-in-law and special envoy, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jared-kushner\/\">Jared Kushner<\/a>, has secured <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"219\">Israeli<\/a> support for continuing the Board of Peace\u2019s plan to demilitarize <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"217\">Gaza<\/a> after a series of high-profile meetings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kushner, joined by BOP officials Nickolay Mladenov and Tony Blair, met with Israeli Prime Minister <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"378\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> on Monday to plead for support after Israel repeatedly rejected the plan.
