US Envoy ‘Sidelined’ By Trump After CNN Interview On Direct US–hamas Talks: Report
Israeli officials lambasted the envoy, who was negotiating to release US-Israeli captives after he called Hamas officials ‘nice guys’ in an interview
Adam Boehler, the US government’s special envoy for Hostage Affairs, was stripped of his role over statements he made during an interview regarding negotiations with Hamas, according to reports on 13 March.
“The administration has pulled him off of the Hamas hostage file and said that he needs to be further sidelined,” three sources in the US Republican Party were cited as saying by Jewish Insider (JI).
“It’s like he’s in Never Never Land,” one source said. “My thing is, I don’t know why we’d be interested in him doing anything going forward after what we saw,” said another. “He’s being sidelined, and that’s good, but I don’t know to what level. It was beyond bad, a disaster. I like Adam, but I think he needs to be parked,” a third Republican source said.
The report signals that there is talk to remove him entirely from the administration and not just from his role negotiating Gaza ceasefire issues.
“Look, they don’t have horns growing out of their heads; they’re actually guys like us; they’re pretty nice guys. We’re the US, we’re not an agent of Israel. We have specific interests at play,” Boehler told CNN last week, referring to Washington’s separate talks with the Palestinian resistance movement which were held recently in Cairo.
