Amid concerns that the White House is prioritizing the release of American hostages over Israeli ones, the US envoy reassured the Israeli public that the Trump administration intends to get both “Americans and Israelis out, our commitment is full.”
Boehler told CNN in an interview earlier in the day that a “long-term truce” could be on the horizon, in which: 1. “we forgive prisoners, 2. where Hamas lays down their arms, 3. where they agree that they’re not part of the political party going forward.”
Yet... Hamas to date has not pledged to lay down its arms or surrender political power.
Asked on Channel 12 about a reported proposal by mediators for an expanded two-month ceasefire and the release of 10 living hostages, he declined to confirm anything but said, “It’s a possible solution.”
