'Listen to your boss' ex-ambassador Friedman tells Boehler
Donald Trump’s former ambassador to Israel David Friedman was critical of Boehler’s efforts on Sunday.

“This past week, President Trump brilliantly presented Hamas with a binary choice:
1. release all the hostages and surrender,
2. or be destroyed.

It is the only path to ending the war,” Friedman wrote on X

“If I heard [Boehler] correctly on the Sunday news shows, he took the unprecedented step to meet with Hamas to consider a third way — whether a deal could be struck where Hamas ‘would not be involved in governing Gaza,'” he continued.

But Friedman called any agreement with Hamas “a waste of time” that “will never be kept.” True

“Attempting one is beneath the dignity of the United States,” Friedman wrote.
“Adam, I know you mean well but listen to your boss. The choice must remain binary.”
