JERUSALEM: US envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday as Washington pressed efforts to ensure the fragile Gaza ceasefire holds.
The truce, in effect since October 10, has largely halted the war that erupted after Hamas’s surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
As part of its first stage, a series of prisoner and hostage exchanges have taken place in recent weeks.
Netanyahu’s office confirmed his meeting with Kushner but did not provide further details.
Israeli media said his visit coincided with ongoing US efforts to stabilize the truce and lay groundwork for its next phase.
