Kushner's three hour meeting with Netanyahu following Hamas talks

Diplomacy
Jared Kushner met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for over three hours to discuss Gaza. This meeting followed a separate conversation Kushner had with Hamas. This approach looks like a classic shuttle diplomacy tactic. By engaging with Hamas immediately before the marathon session with Netanyahu, Kushner is likely attempting to create direct pressure. While the road is long, the sheer amount of time spent in these rooms is a hopeful detail.

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.
