US envoys met regional mediators in Cairo to discuss Trump's Gaza peace plan, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed his rejection of the 15-point framework.

US envoys Jared Kushner and Nickolay Mladenov met in Cairo with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey to advance US President Donald Trump’s post-war peace initiative for Gaza. Palestinian factions, including Hamas representatives present at select sessions, signaled readiness to proceed to the next phase of the framework, calling on Washington to pressure Israel into compliance.

The diplomatic push coincides with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterating his firm opposition to the 15-point document formulated by the US-led Peace Committee. Netanyahu asserted that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully disarmed and ruled out the creation of an independent Palestinian state. Kushner and Mladenov are scheduled to meet with Netanyahu in Israel to address the impasse.
