Kushner and Hayya, both in the Mediterranean coastal city of El-Alamein, held separate talks on the implementation of Trump’s postwar plan for Gaza, which has largely been stalled since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was declared last October.

Kushner also met with Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish mediators, a diplomatic source told Reuters. Hamas officials were present at some of the meetings between mediators, Kushner and Nickolay Mladenov, Trump’s Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, the diplomat said.

The meeting between Kushner and Sissi “emphasized the need for all parties to fulfill their obligations under the Gaza Strip ceasefire agreement,” according to presidential spokesperson Mohamed El-Shennawy.

There was no immediate comment from Kushner.

Kushner was set to travel next to Israel, which has publicly rejected the 15-point roadmap, where he was set to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with Mladenov, on Monday.
