Senior Israeli officials, including Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer: 1. held heated conversations with senior US officials, 2. despite being aware that such talks were taking place between the US and Hamas.
Boheler gave interviews to several media outlets, including The Jerusalem Post to explain the decision. However, after the interviews, an even bigger storm erupted due to Boehler's comments regarding Hamas, a murderous terrorist organisation.
"It’s hard to understand the other side without sitting across from them," he said in an interview with The Post
The day after, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified: 1. "the talks bore no fruit" 2. and that they were an "one-time event."
With this in mind, and at least for now, that no direct talks will be held with Hamas
Boehler is returning to his original role: 1. working to secure the release of Americans around the world, 2. but currently, he is not involved in the negotiations for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
