Jared Kushner will travel to Israel and Egypt next week with senior Board of Peace officials as the Trump administration seeks to revive a stalled Gaza ceasefire plan.

Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and a key negotiator, will travel to the Middle East next week as Washington seeks to advance plans for ending the conflict in Gaza.

Kushner will visit Israel and Egypt with senior officials from Trump’s Board of Peace, according to an official familiar with preparations for the trip.

The delegation is expected to arrive in Israel on Sunday before travelling to Cairo for talks focused on Gaza’s future governance and reconstruction.

Blair Joins US Delegation

The delegation will include Kushner, Board of Peace high representative Nickolay Mladenov and Tony Blair, the former British prime minister and an executive board member.

The group will hold discussions with officials involved in efforts to implement a US-brokered ceasefire framework for Gaza.

A Board of Peace official said the meetings would demonstrate the Trump administration’s determination to establish what it described as peace, prosperity and sustainable security in a demilitarised Gaza.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because final details of the trip had not been completed.

Cairo Talks Focus on Gaza

After meetings in Israel, the delegation will travel to Cairo, where a Palestinian technocratic group has been preparing to assume responsibility for administering Gaza under the ceasefire framework.

The Palestinian group has held meetings in Cairo for several months as part of preparations for a possible transition in governance.

The proposed arrangement envisages Hamas giving up control and allowing reconstruction efforts to proceed across the heavily damaged territory.

Israel Rejects Recent Deal

The Kushner-led mission comes after Israel rejected a recent Trump administration proposal that called for Hamas to disarm and Israeli forces to withdraw from Gaza.

The proposal initially appeared to offer a possible route towards ending the conflict. Hamas accepted the plan to decommission its weapons, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained that Israel will not withdraw until Hamas has completely disarmed.

The disagreement has created a rare public point of friction between the Israeli government and the Trump administration.

Ceasefire Plan Faces Obstacles

The latest proposal builds on an October ceasefire that halted major military operations and led to the release of remaining hostages held in Gaza.

However, implementation has stalled over several unresolved issues, including Hamas’ disarmament, Israeli military withdrawal and arrangements for Gaza’s future administration.

The latest diplomatic push aims to address those differences and prevent the ceasefire framework from losing momentum.

Reconstruction Remains Priority

The future reconstruction of Gaza is another central element of the proposed arrangement. Years of conflict have left large parts of the territory severely damaged, creating enormous humanitarian and infrastructure challenges.

The Board of Peace has presented demilitarisation and the transfer of control away from Hamas as important conditions for reconstruction and longer-term stability.

The planned discussions in Israel and Egypt are expected to focus on how those objectives could be implemented.

US Seeks Diplomatic Breakthrough

Kushner’s visit represents a renewed effort by Washington to bridge the gap between the positions of Israel and Hamas.

The success of the mission will depend on whether negotiators can find a workable formula for Hamas’ disarmament, Israel’s withdrawal and Gaza’s post-war governance.

The upcoming Israel and Egypt talks will therefore provide an important test of the Trump administration’s efforts to move the Gaza ceasefire process forward and establish a framework for reconstruction and longer-term security.
