WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s hostage envoy Adam Boehler said on Sunday that US meetings with Hamas on the release of hostages held in Gaza were very helpful and he did not rule out additional encounters with the Palestinian militant group.
Boehler said his meetings with Hamas leaders in recent days were designed to pinpoint what the group’s end game was with the goal of bringing hostilities to a close.
“I think it was a very helpful meeting. It was very helpful to hear some back and forth,” Boehler said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
