Jared Kushner<\/a>, a key negotiator in the\u00a0Israel-Hamas peace deal<\/a>, said in an exclusive “60 Minutes” interview that he expects the terrorist organization to employ violent tactics in an effort to reassert its power in Gaza.<\/p>\n

“Hamas right now is doing exactly what you would expect a terrorist organization to do, which is to try to reconstitute and take back their positions,” Kushner told “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl.<\/p>\n

The interview took place just days before the U.S. warned<\/a> that Hamas may be planning an attack on Palestinian civilians. Israeli forces and Hamas also clashed over the weekend, with an Israeli military official saying the country\u00a0struck targets<\/a> in southern Gaza after Hamas shot at Israeli soldiers \u2014 marking a test of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Kushner, who is President Trump’s son-in-law and helped secure the president’s peace deal, said the success or failure of the 20-point peace plan<\/a> will depend on whether Israel and the international partners involved can create “a viable alternative.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If they are successful, Hamas will fail, and Gaza will not be a threat to Israel in the future,” Kushner said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. peace deal, still in its first phase, saw Hamas release\u00a020 living hostages<\/a>, and so far return the\u00a0bodies of at least 10 confirmed deceased hostages<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It eventually\u00a0calls for<\/a> an interim governing body to run Gaza made up of “qualified Palestinians and international experts,” and overseen by a “Board of Peace” chaired by Mr. Trump, but that has yet to be established.<\/p>\n

The expected rebuilding and post-war governance in Gaza could be derailed by violence in the decimated strip. Video obtained by CBS News\u00a0this week<\/a> showed Hamas fighters executing Palestinians they accused of being gang members collaborating with Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hamas has been working to use its weapons to reestablish itself as the entity that is governing Gaza. The U.S. said in a statement Saturday that attacks against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n
