Is this guy for real -- unless there is a method to this madness... all a strategy ploy, by the Trump administration

From: The Times of Israel March 10, 2025
He says Trump personally approved his talks… or not:

Boehler gave two very different definitive answers to the perfectly simple question of whether Trump personally approved his direct talks with Hamas.

Tapper asked him: “So you did get sign-off from President Trump ahead of time, though?” Boehler nodded three times and answered: “Of course.”

Channel 12’s Yonit Levy asked him, in similar vein, whether Trump “personally signed off” on his direct talks with Hamas.
This time Boehler replied, “The White House did. So that’s a group of folks. But people in the White House did know about me having those discussions, yes.”
