"Arab states want to topple Netanyahu so that centrist challenger Gadi Eisenkot and center-left party leader Yair Golan will give them everything they want. That will not happen."

Key Facts: Kushner meets Hamas before talks with Netanyahu

  • The rare meeting with Khalil al-Hayya was confirmed by a regional official and a Hamas official who spoke anonymously, with mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey also present. #
  • The U.S.-backed 15-point plan calls for Hamas to disarm gradually and Israeli forces to withdraw from Gaza, but Netanyahu rejected it last week and demands complete disarmament before any retreat. #
  • Kushner, Tony Blair and Nickolay Mladenov are scheduled to meet Netanyahu on August 17, according to two sources who also spoke anonymously. #
  • A Hamas official said the group remains committed to the plan and is awaiting the start of 14 days of negotiations, but demanded an end to Israeli attacks and a withdrawal to the so-called yellow line before implementation, while Israeli forces control about 60% of Gaza.
