U.S. Hostage Envoy Adam Boehler, who has been leading talks with Hamas in Gaza, was dropped after Israel questioned the Trump administration about Boehler calling Hamas soldiers "nice guys."
During a CNN interview on Sunday, news anchor Jake Tapper asked Boehler if he understands why Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer were upset they weren't involved in the US-Hamas talks. Trump's special envoy admitted he was sympathetic and understood the concern before defending his position.
