Donald Trump has called for Israel to cease its military strikes in Gaza. This comes as his representative, Jared Kushner, held discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push a U.S.-supported proposal aimed at disarming Hamas and concluding the conflict. Netanyahu has turned down the multi-stage disarmament strategy, and Israel has restarted its regular bombing campaign following a short break, maintaining that certain sites are connected to the October 7, 2023, assault.
