Trump’s hostage envoy clarifies: Hamas are ‘by definition bad people’
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
After a round of TV interviews that he says were “misinterpreted,” US hostage envoy Adam Boehler clarifies that, in his eyes, Hamas are murderers and terrorists.
“Hamas is a terrorist organization that has murdered thousands of innocent people,” he writes on X. “They are BY DEFINITION BAD people.”
Earlier today, Boehler said that “it’s not like Hamas got the world [in negotiations] because I thought they were a bunch of nice guys.”
In his post, Boehler threatens that “not a single Hamas member will be safe if Hamas doesn’t RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES IMMEDIATELY.”
