Kushner: Israel acting ‘a little irrational’ on Gaza due to upcoming election

Jared Kushner, the former US envoy to the Middle East, stated that Israel is acting somewhat irrationally regarding the war in Gaza due to the pressures of an upcoming election. Despite this assessment, Kushner emphasized that Washington and Tel Aviv remain in agreement concerning the desired end state for Gaza. These remarks come amid ongoing regional tensions. Separately, reports emerged from Gaza City regarding the deaths of a father and his daughter in an airstrike. An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson stated that the strike was intended to target a terror operative.
