Jared Kushner: US leveraged Israel's isolation after Doha strike to secure Gaza deal
Jared Kushner, a senior advisor and son-in-law to Donald Trump, has revealed that the United States leveraged Israel's international isolation following a failed military operation in Doha to secure a Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal.
The operation, conducted on September 9, 2025, targeted senior Hamas leaders in Qatar but failed to neutralize them. While the leaders survived, the strike resulted in the deaths of several lower-ranking Hamas members, bodyguards, and a Qatari security officer. Kushner characterized the event as a “terrible” military failure that left Israel globally isolated.
Negotiators used this diplomatic vulnerability to pressure Israel into an October 2025 agreement brokered by Kushner and Steve Witkoff. The deal included the release of Israeli hostages and a partial Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. While Kushner noted the agreement has ultimately benefited both Israelis and Gazans, the full implementation of the plan has stalled due to Hamas' refusal to fully disarm.
