Four major Arab nations and three other Muslim-majority powers are joining with President Trump to push for a US-backed Gaza peace deal \u2014 even as Israel rejected the plan and carried on with airstrikes in the Palestinian enclave.<\/p>\n

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Hamas officials and mediators in the latest talks to salvage the deal, a Middle East diplomat told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Kushner\u00a0and Trump\u2019s Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, are scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday in an attempt to get the Jewish state on board after it rejected the president\u2019s plan as \u201cunacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE joined Turkey, Pakistan and Indonesia \u2014 three major Muslim-majority nations \u2014 on Sunday to condemn Israel\u2019s opposition to Trump\u2019s peace plan, warning that it could sink the deal and reignite the conflict in war-torn Gaza.<\/p>\n

Netanyahu said last week that Israel fully rejects the 15-point peace plan and said his forces would not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas no longer poses a threat to his country. <\/p>\n

According to Trump, the plan involves terror group Hamas laying down its weapons in exchange for Israel withdrawing from the Gaza Strip. <\/p>\n

Since then, Israel has resumed its regular airstrikes in Gaza to take out Hamas military targets, with a recent attack hitting an apartment building in the Nuseirat refugee camp, wounding several people, medics said. <\/p>\n

Hamas, meanwhile, has said it would only disarm once Israel ends all strikes on the enclave and withdraws its forces, which currently occupy more than half of the Gaza Strip. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The disagreement left Trump\u2019s initial 20-point peace plan in limbo since it was announced last year, with the president putting forth a 15-point plan last month to try and secure a breakthrough. <\/p>\n

As Israel continues its attacks in Gaza, Hamas officials have called on the US to pressure Netanyahu to follow Trump\u2019s roadmap and end the war, which is approaching its fourth year. <\/p>\n

At least 1,250 Palestinians have been killed since last year\u2019s peace deal was announced, most of them civilians, according to human rights groups and medics. <\/p>\n

Four Israeli soldiers were also killed in skirmishes with Gaza militants in the same period, according to Israeli officials. <\/p>\n
