US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, plans to visit Israel next week for talks on the situation in the Gaza Strip, Axios reports, citing sources. According to the release, the White House and the US-initiated Peace Council are "attempting to move forward with the next phase of the Gaza plan, which focuses on the disarmament of Hamas and the possible withdrawal of Israeli forces."
The portal emphasizes that "Netanyahu's government is extremely suspicious of the US plan for Gaza, and Israel's parliamentary elections in October make matters more politically sensitive." "We have strategic goals, but Israel has expressed some concerns about the plan, and we want to talk to them to ensure coordination between us," the US official said. He said that the dates of the above-mentioned visit can be changed.
Nikolay Mladenov, the supreme representative of the Peace Council on Gaza issues, will also go to Israel with Kushner. According to the portal, Kushner will meet with Netanyahu and other Israeli officials. He may also visit other countries of the Middle East.
