US hostage envoy Boehler: Release of Edan Alexander shows Hamas knows it needs to free hostages to ‘stop barrage of attacks’

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

US hostage envoy Adam Boehler says Hamas’s release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander last week is a “sign” that the terror group “understands” that it needs to release hostages “if they want this barrage of attacks to stop.”

Boehler tells “Fox News Sunday” that hostage negotiations in Doha are very “fluid,” denying reports that they aren’t going well.
