A Peace Council official said a meeting between Jared Kushner and Benjamin Netanyahu was long, in-depth, and productive [1].
The interaction suggests a potential shift in diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Israel, as the two parties reportedly established a framework for future cooperation.
According to the official speaking to Al Jazeera, the delegation from the Peace Council and Netanyahu agreed on a specific way to move forward [1]. The discussions focused on deep engagement to resolve outstanding issues, a process the official described as being fruitful.
"The meeting was long, in-depth and very productive," the official said [1].
While the specific details of the agreement were not disclosed, the council's alignment with Netanyahu indicates a willingness to pursue a coordinated strategy. The meeting marks a significant point of contact between the former U.S. advisor and the Israeli prime minister.
Representatives have not yet released a formal joint statement outlining the exact terms of the path forward. However, the Peace Council maintains that the depth of the conversation provided the necessary foundation for the next steps in their diplomatic process [1].
“"The meeting was long, in-depth and very productive,"”
This development indicates that non-governmental or quasi-diplomatic channels, such as the Peace Council, continue to play a role in shaping U.S.-Israel relations. By establishing a 'way forward' outside of formal state-to-state communiqués, these actors may be attempting to build a consensus on regional security or peace frameworks before official policies are announced.
