US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a member of the Gaza Executive Board has pushed back against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his handling of a Gaza roadmap as disagreements over the plan deepened, Israeli media reported.
Channel 14, citing sources familiar with the discussions, said on Monday that Jared Kushner and Netanyahu held several tense conversations in recent days over how to move forward with the plan.
Kushner challenged Netanyahu over his opposition to steps under the roadmap, arguing that the initiative had been shaped around the Israeli prime minister's own desire for an alternative to both continued Israeli occupation of Gaza and Hamas rule.
"You're throwing a wrench into the idea that you wanted," Kushner reportedly told Netanyahu, accusing him of obstructing the initiative as it moved toward implementation.
Netanyahu opposed provisions that would place Gaza under Palestinian law, claiming the move would amount to establishing a Palestinian state, the broadcaster reported.
The reported exchanges came amid broader disagreements over the implementation of the US-backed Gaza roadmap.
Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a 15-point document put forward by the Board of Peace, insisting that Israeli forces would not withdraw from Gaza before Hamas is fully disarmed.
Channel 14 said the tensions with Kushner, coupled with pressure from within Netanyahu's government, contributed to his rejection of the document.
Violation of ceasefire
The Gaza plan was the latest stage in a US-brokered ceasefire announced in October 2025 that has reduced, but not completely ended, the genocide.
Israel has killed over 73,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and wounded more than 174,000 others in its genocide in Gaza since October 2023.
Since October 2025, Israel has continued its violation of the ceasefire, killing at least 1,258 people and wounding 4,139 others, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
The second phase of Trump's plan envisages the transfer of administration in Gaza to a Palestinian technocratic committee, deploying an international stabilisation force and placing weapons under the responsibility of the National Committee for Gaza Administration under international supervision alongside a phased Israeli withdrawal and reconstruction efforts.
On Sunday, Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to the roadmap agreed with mediators and the Board of Peace to complete the second phase of Trump's plan for Gaza.
