The United States is considering sending presidential envoy Jared Kushner to Israel as President Donald Trump pushes a peace plan for Gaza, an official said Thursday.
The news outlet Axios reported earlier that Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and go-to mediator for the Middle East and Russia, will head to Israel and Egypt next week for talks on the situation in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced over the weekend he opposes Trump's latest plan for ending the Gaza war.
"Such a trip is being discussed. The United States and Israel agree on the desired outcome in Gaza," the official said on condition of not being named, responding to an AFP query on the Axios report on Kushner.
"We share many other areas of agreement and mutual concerns that we will work through together."
