SENIOR PALESTINIAN FIGURE: KUSHNER ASSURED ME ISRAEL WILL STOP STRIKING GAZA ON SUNDAY

A senior Palestinian figure, Dahlan, has reportedly been in contact with Trump aide Jared Kushner, who assured him that Israel will stop striking Gaza on Sunday, according to The Times of Israel. This development is significant as it comes amidst ongoing efforts to achieve a cease-fire in the region. The assurance from Kushner is seen as a breakthrough in disarmament talks between the parties involved.

Dahlan's confirmation of contacts with Kushner has been credited for the progress in disarmament talks, with a Board of Peace official stating that they hope to start the weapons handover process in the coming days, The Times of Israel reports. However, this claim walks back an earlier statement that the process had already begun. The details of the disarmament talks and the role of Kushner in facilitating them are still emerging.

The situation in Gaza remains tense, with Israel having bombarded the region just days after Trump announced a deal to advance a cease-fire, as reported by The New York Times. This backdrop highlights the complexity and challenges of achieving a lasting peace in the region.
