Jared Kushner, serving in a diplomatic capacity for the Trump administration, has held meetings with Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya. Reports indicate that these discussions are part of a broader effort to establish a 15-point roadmap for the future of Gaza. According to NDTV, this interaction in Cairo was not an isolated event, noting that al-Hayya previously led a Hamas delegation in negotiations with Kushner and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in October 2025.

The diplomatic initiative faces significant hurdles, particularly regarding the reception of the proposed roadmap. Al Jazeera reports that the Israeli government has rejected the 15-point plan presented by the Trump administration. Following these developments, Kushner is expected to hold further discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address the impasse. While the meetings suggest an attempt at direct communication with Hamas leadership to facilitate a resolution, the lack of consensus between the U.S. proposal and the Israeli government's position remains a central point of friction in the ongoing conflict.
