Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with US President-elect Donald Trump’s designated special envoy for hostage affairs in Jerusalem, Netanyahu’s office says.

The statement says Adam Boehler is on a private visit to Israel, and gives no details on the the content of their talks,

Currently CEO of the healthcare investment firm Rubicon Founders, Boehler was involved in the negotiations of the Abraham Accords and helped lead US talks with the Taliban during Trump’s previous administration, during which he served as CEO of the US International Development Finance Corp, a new federal agency created during that term.
