Concessions and Colonialism: The Gaza Peace Plan's Deadlock The latest iteration of a peace plan for Gaza, spearheaded by Jared Kushner, has hit a snag.
According to sources close to the talks, Kushner reassured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the Israeli army won't be required to withdraw from Gaza until Hamas disarms.
This development is not surprising, given the long standing Israeli stance on the issue. The impasse between Israel and Hamas is symptomatic of a broader problem in Middle Eastern diplomacy.
