Kushner Calls Israel’s Doha Strike ‘Terrible,’ Says US Used Fallout to Push Gaza Deal
Kushner said the failed strike left Israel isolated and gave U.S. negotiators leverage to secure a 20-point ceasefire plan.
- Jared Kushner, a special adviser to President Donald Trump, said Sunday the administration leveraged the fallout from Israel's failed September 9, 2025, strike in Doha to pressure the Israeli government into accepting a Gaza ceasefire deal.
- The Israeli Air Force operation in Qatar on September 9, 2025, failed to eliminate Hamas leaders, instead killing security personnel and leaving Israel globally isolated, which Washington utilized as diplomatic leverage.
- Exactly one month after the strike, on October 9, 2025, Israel and Hamas signed a ceasefire agreement that led to the release of 48 hostages and the freedom of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
- Despite the initial agreement, negotiations have stalled over the requirement that Hamas disarm, leading Israel to withhold additional troop pullbacks until the group dismantles its military infrastructure.
- Israel is now "quite happy" with the agreement, Kushner noted, adding that a new governing structure is expected to manage Gaza as the territory moves toward eventual demilitarization.
