Kushner acknowledged Israel's right to strike genuine "imminent threats" but cautioned against a broad interpretation. The Board of Peace's disarmament plan, which Hamas accepted on July 30, envisions an immediate halt to military operations, but Netanyahu opposes this. Kushner also raised concerns about Netanyahu's refusal to allow new Palestinian police recruits to train in Egypt, which is necessary for the disarmament plan. Hours after Kushner's departure, the IDF conducted a strike that reportedly killed six people, including a child.
