CHANNEL 13:

US Special envoy Adam Boehler commented on his “difficult call” with Israeli Minister Ron Dermer:

“I don’t care about it; we want a deal.”

Dermer fears releasing a large number of Palestinian prisoners, which would set the tone for the second phase of the deal.

Our talks with Hamas are happening because the administration is concerned about the fragility of the ceasefire.

Meeting with Hamas doesn’t mean we are friends or allies; we are discussing progress in negotiations.

I work for President Trump, and this is his decision; I carry out his wishes.

Hamas told me they want to hand over all captives and recover their prisoners.

Ultimately, we will rebuild Gaza, and Hamas will not lead this process; I believe they know that.

At this stage of the war, I don’t see Israel, Hamas, and the US as far apart from each other.
