Trump reportedly tasks Jared Kushner with composing ‘day-after’ plan for Gaza
US President Donald Trump is tasking his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, with composing a plan for the day after the war in Gaza, Channel 12 reports.
Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer met with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Kushner in Miami today to discuss the ceasefire proposal and the US “day after” plan, according to the network, which reported that Kushner is emerging as a central figure in crafting US plans for the future of Gaza.
“Israel will have influence, but it won’t be the Bibi plan or the Dermer plan,” a US official tells Channel 12.
Kushner was a senior adviser to Trump during his first term from 2017 to 2021, and was central to brokering the Abraham Accords, the normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab countries. He does not currently hold an official position in the Trump White House.
Channel 12 also reports that new details have emerged about the new US proposal for a comprehensive hostage-release and ceasefire deal.
While reports indicated yesterday that the latest proposal sent to Hamas by US President Donald Trump would see all the Israeli hostages released on the first day of a ceasefire, the outlet is now reporting that the outline would see all living hostages freed in the first 48 hours.

The bodies of slain hostages will also be returned during the ceasefire, but the precise timeline will be set indirect talks between Hamas and Israel.
Hamas says it needs time to locate all the bodies, per Channel 12.
The ceasefire would last 60 days or until the end of talks, if they are still ongoing.
The talks will focus on the disarmament of Hamas, the makeup of the government that will rule Gaza after Hamas, and the details of the phased IDF withdrawal, according to Channel 12.
Under the terms of the proposal, the IDF would eventually withdraw fully from Gaza, including from a buffer zone around the borders. The pace of the withdrawal will depend on the new Gazan government’s ability to ensure security in areas Israel leaves.
Israel believes that Hamas officials are divided over the proposal. Some leaders feel that Trump’s guarantees cannot be trusted, and that Israel would be given too much control over the pace of its withdrawal,” per the outlet.
“Hamas has to understand from both Qatar and Egypt that the partial deal path doesn’t exist anymore,” a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12.
