US envoy Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks Monday on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, as Washington intensified its efforts to ensure the fragile truce endures.
Kushner met Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday as part of US efforts to stabilise the ceasefire and lay the groundwork for its next phase.
The two discussed some of the most sensitive aspects of phase two of the agreement, Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian told journalists.
“Together the two discussed phase one, which we are currently still in, to bring our remaining hostages, and the future of phase two of this plan, which includes the disarming of Hamas, demilitarising Gaza and ensuring Hamas will have no role in the future of Gaza ever again,” Bedrosian said.
“Phase two also includes the establishment of the international stabilisation force and the details of which of course together are being discussed.”
