U.S. Envoy and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner says he's optimistic about progress
in Gaza after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
But Israeli officials released mixed messages after that meeting, as NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv.
Kushner and Netanyahu's teams announced there would be no Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and no reconstruction
until Hamas completely disarms.
But there would be sanitation projects in Gaza for public health.
Kushner told Fox News that Hamas could begin disarming within three months.
And if not, he hinted Israel could resume full-scale war.
Progress could come quite soon, but we do need cooperation from both sides.

But we've made a lot of progress to get here.
