President Trump's son-in-law and envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Monday after Israel rejected a 15-point plan for Gaza promoted by President Trump's "Board of Peace." The proposal would have seen Hamas gradually disarm and turn over governance of Gaza to an international force in exchange for Israel's withdrawal from the besieged territory.
Israel, supported by Kushner, is pushing for a deal whereby it "would not be obliged to conduct any of its obligations unless and until Hamas was fully disarmed," says Middle East analyst Mouin Rabbani. "This is essentially Israel throwing a poison pill into an agreement by including conditions that can never be met."
Rabbani argues that Jared Kushner is not a suitable negotiator because there is a "very intimate ideological, political connection between the Kushners and Israel."

A new book by longtime Bay Area journalist Gil Durán investigates "tech fascism" and its mounting influence on U.S. politics. The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy follows the rise of Vice President JD Vance, the former venture capitalist whose "outsider" campaign for Senate was bankrolled by the billionaire co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, Peter Thiel. Durán traces the ideological lineage of the current Trump administration back from Vance to Thiel and the far-right-wing monarchist Curtis Yarvin, whose "right-libertarian" political theory has long made the rounds among Silicon Valley elite. "These guys were never libertarians," says Durán. "Now that they are the government, we see their true face: They're fascists, and they're authoritarians."
