Jared Kushner

"Mr. Jared Kushner confirmed to us that he had agreed with the Israeli side to halt the attacks on Gaza beginning tomorrow morning," Mohammad Dahlan wrote before removing the claims.

Senior US officials said: "One of the important things for Israel is that it will not withdraw as long as there is a Hamas threat; Israel's withdrawal will occur according to a [later] schedule."

In a series of snafus, Trump was embarrassed, the Saudis blindsided, the region trembled, Israel worried, and everyone was confused.

According to US Ambassador to France Charles Kushner, his decision is driven less by Mamdani's socialist policies than by what he characterized as hostility toward Jews and Israel. 

Ushakov said Trump made the offer in the context of his participation next week at the NATO summit in Turkey.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, told Iranian state media that talks included an initial meeting of a monitoring group to ensure implementation of the recently signed US-Iran MoU.

US envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met Qatar's prime minister on Tuesday to lay the groundwork for Wednesday’s technical sessions but are not attending the talks themselves.

"Iranian officials have made it clear in discussions with multiple parties that it is unreasonable for ships to pass through without seeking their authorization," a Western diplomat told the Post.

“I would say that the primary reason Iran has decided to renew attacks on the Persian Gulf states has to do with the balance of leverage in the ongoing negotiations," one expert says.

Local observers blame Russia, Iran and Turkey for trying to sow unrest in the country, which is seeking membership in the European Union. Others call the antisemitism a false flag.
