Caption: Trump Envoy: Hostage Deal with Hamas Closer Than Ever. At the Aspen Security Forum, Trump’s special envoy for hostage affairs, Adam Boehler, said a deal to free Israeli hostages held by Hamas is “closer than it’s ever been.” - According to Politico. He credited Israel’s military gains for creating a political opening, but warned that Hamas remains “very hardheaded” in talks. Boehler noted that Hamas continues to resist, believing it still has leverage despite Israel’s pressure. He added that the deal could still fail due to Hamas's stubbornness. He also voiced optimism about expanding the Abraham Accords, saying they’ve held strong despite regional conflict. Boehler declined to comment on whether Biden should have engaged Hamas sooner and defended past negotiations involving Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander.
