By Danielle Cohen Adam Boehler, the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, said on Sunday that recent direct talks between the U.S. and Hamas on continuing the cease-fire and hostage-release deal with Israel were "very productive." Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," Boehler said negotiators had "very productive talks" and that Hamas "provided some very interesting views." Boehler said, in addition to discussing the release of hostages, the parties "discussed what the end [of the war] might look like" and Hamas "did orient toward a long-term truce … where they would be disarmed, a truce where they would not be part of the political policy, and a truce where we would ensure that they are in a place where they can't hurt Israel." "Those kinds of dialogues are very important to the president because, as he constantly says, he doesn't want war," Boehler continued. "War is a last resort. He wants a peaceful world." |
