US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Jared Kushner has arrived in Israel for talks following rare discussions with Hamas regarding a US-backed Gaza peace plan.

• Kushner met with Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt to discuss a plan that includes the "complete disarmament" of armed groups in Gaza.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the 15-point plan, which calls for Israeli troop withdrawal and rebuilding Gaza.
• Eight Muslim countries issued a statement condemning Israel's rejection, while Netanyahu faces internal pressure from ministers favouring a harsher stance on Gaza.
