Journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) reports a final summary of Monday's meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. envoy Jared Kushner. According to the report, it was agreed that U.S. General Jasper will supervise the transfer of Hamas weapons to the Palestinian technocratic government (NCAG). No agreement was reached on continued targeted killings, with Netanyahu insisting he will continue and Kushner opposing. It was agreed that Israeli withdrawal will occur only after full disarmament.
The final summary of Monday's meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. envoy Jared Kushner, reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) at 20:11, reveals the specific points of agreement and disagreement on the Gaza disarmament framework.
Stein's earlier report at 19:04 had noted that U.S. General Jasper would supervise the transfer of Hamas weapons to the Palestinian technocratic government (NCAG). The new summary confirms that point and adds several details: Netanyahu explicitly stated he intends to continue targeted killings in Gaza despite Kushner's opposition; the two sides agreed that Israeli withdrawal would proceed only after full disarmament; and the weapons transfer would be overseen by General Jasper.
The meeting's outcome marks another step in the ongoing diplomatic effort to structure a post-war Gaza arrangement. As The Zioneer has covered over the past weeks, the emerging framework includes Hamas's agreement to transfer heavy weapons contingent on full Israeli withdrawal (July 31), the Trump administration's insistence on disarmament before withdrawal (July 31), and reports of an amended deal requiring Hamas to surrender light arms (August 4). The current report indicates that the issue of continued Israeli targeted killings remains a point of tension between Jerusalem and Washington.
The final implementation of the terms remains pending. Netanyahu's insistence on continuing targeted killings, despite Kushner's opposition, suggests that U.S.-Israel coordination on operational aspects of the Gaza truce may face ongoing friction even as the broad disarmament framework moves forward.
