> U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner warned Hamas that it must honor its commitment to disarm in Gaza or Israel could receive greater U.S. and international backing for a military operation to “finish the job.” After meetings with Hamas in Cairo and Israeli officials in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Kushner said the roadmap’s timeline and the sequencing of disarmament and Israeli withdrawal remain key disputes.
