> US envoy Jared Kushner said Washington would not allow Gaza’s reconstruction until Hamas surrendered its weapons and demilitarisation took place. He said the US would not restrict Israel’s right to defend itself against imminent threats, as Israel continues attacks despite a US-backed process that included Israeli withdrawal and an end to the strikes.
