Kushner's three hour meeting with Netanyahu following Hamas talks
DiplomacyComments
What if the meeting wasn't about applying pressure, but rather coordinating a specific timeline for the MOU expiration? It is possible the goal was to align expectations before the legal window closes.
It is encouraging to see the effort, but I wonder if the three hour duration is truly a marker of progress. Some of the longest diplomatic sessions in this region have ended without a concrete agreement.
The timing is critical since the US-Iran memorandum expires today. This meeting likely isn't just about Gaza, but a desperate attempt to prevent the Hormuz blockade from becoming permanent.
The shuttle approach is logical. Netanyahu typically only responds to direct, high-level pressure from the White House inner circle rather than formal State Department channels.
