The White House confirmed that it had direct talks with Hamas on the release of the remaining hostages held in Gaza.
Washington had until then avoided directly with the group, and there was a long -term American policy against contact with entities in which a terrorist organization included. This also means bypassing our ally – Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office responded with a statement of TERSE, saying only that he “expressed his position” in the talks.
But this was not necessarily softening a tone towards Hamas. Trump also He released what he called “the last warning” For the group, demanding the release of the remaining Israeli hostages.
