Palestinian Authority officials have told the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation that the United States and not Egypt is responsible for the reconciliation initiative between the PA and Hamas in Gaza.
According to the sources, PA Chairman Abu Mazen knows that Jared Kushner, the advisor and son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, was behind the initiative, which aims to restore control of Gaza to the PA, and was asked by Trump to promote the reconciliation process with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah As-Sisi.
