Jared Kushner: President Trump is refusing to cave to Iran.
"Right now, they're not showing any interest in doing something that makes sense for us."
"They have to be willing to make a real deal. If they try to play a trick, President Trump wants a fair deal. That has to be very basic. Be a real country. No nuclear weapons, no funding terror."
"If Iran is willing to finish the deal that they've been discussing with us, to give up their ability to create nuclear weapons, then obviously he is willing to make a deal that can be great for the Iranian people. It's something he'd be open to."
"They said all the right things, but obviously it's very, very hard to trust a terrorist organization that committed these terrible atrocities... We're going to give them a chance to perform, but it's going to have to be based on actions."
Kushner on Iran: They are engaging in a very strong way and that is quite positive but we are not there yet on understanding and President Trump will be very patient. He doesn't want to rush to a deal.
Jared Kushner: "Conversations between the U.S. and different areas of the Iran government are more robust than it has ever been." He described the talks as positive and active, but said the two sides "are not there yet" on an understanding.

Key points from the Netanyahu-Kushner meeting, per Jerusalem Post:
Israel and the U.S. agreed that in the initial stage of disarmament, weapons handed over by Hamas will be transferred to U.S.-led ISF forces headed by U.S. Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers for destruction. They will not initially go to the Palestinian technocratic government (NCAG).
Israeli participants included Shin Bet Director David Zini and Military Intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, who briefed officials on violations by Hamas. The sides reached a series of understandings on implementing the Gaza framework.
Gaza reconstruction will not begin until Hamas is fully disarmed throughout the Strip, Israeli officials say. Netanyahu made clear targeted operations against Hamas will continue. Israel has not agreed to halt targeted killings or withdraw from the current yellow line.

CNN Report: US envoy Jared Kushner urged Netanyahu to advance the Trump-backed Gaza ceasefire plan and "not stand in the way." Netanyahu made clear that moving forward before the elections would be problematic. The meeting ran more than four hours.
Israeli political official on the Netanyahu-Kushner meeting:
"It was very long. The first step to demilitarizing the Strip is for Hamas to hand over all weapons for destruction under supervision, preserving the IDF's freedom of action and continuing targeted strikes. We revealed details about Hamas and the Turkish funding."
Axios Report: In a meeting with Trump adviser Jared Kushner in Egypt on Sunday, Hamas leaders reaffirmed their commitment to disarm and demilitarize Gaza.
The U.S. administration is applying heavy pressure on Israel to advance to the next phase in the Gaza Strip. Jared Kushner and Nickolay Mladenov meet Netanyahu tomorrow, one day after holding talks with senior Hamas officials in Cairo.

Jared Kushner and senior Peace Council officials met a Hamas delegation in Cairo, a source familiar with the details tells i24NEWS.
The aim: convert the road map into concrete, verifiable steps -- handing all governing powers to the National Committee for Gaza Management, keeping Hamas out of Gaza's future, dismantling weapons and military infrastructure, deploying the international stabilization force, allowing Israeli withdrawals, and speeding up aid and reconstruction.
The source: "There can be no room for ambiguity. Hamas must give up governing authority and all weapons and military infrastructure. Gaza can never again be a source of terror against Israel."

Jared Kushner:
"Six years ago, President Trump launched the Abraham Accords and opened a new chapter of peace, partnership, and prosperity in the Middle East.
Many said it was impossible. But with bold leadership, perseverance, and a small group of people willing to challenge old assumptions, we proved that the impossible could be achieved.
The Middle East is once again at a turning point. There are groundbreaking opportunities today that many would say are impossible. But we have seen what can happen when leaders reject conventional thinking, focus on common interests, and have the courage to strive for a better future.
We surprised the world once. With the right leadership, focus, patience, and courage, I believe we can do it again."
