Jared Kushner, former senior adviser to the White House and son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, met with a Hamas leader in Egypt to discuss a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, according to AP News.

The meeting is part of diplomatic efforts to resolve the situation in the Middle East. During the talks, the parties discussed improving the humanitarian situation and achieving lasting peace.

This is not Kushner's first meeting with high-ranking officials in the region. He has previously been involved in negotiations between Israel and Palestine and supported various initiatives.

As the conflict in Gaza continues, the international community is calling on the parties to engage in dialogue and cease fire. Kushner's visit may help reduce tensions in the region.
