The Trump administration’s special envoy for hostage affairs said in a July 20 interview that the Hamas terrorist group should “take the deal” laid out by Israel to move closer to a peace agreement.

During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” on July 20, special envoy Adam Boehler said that Hamas should accept the current proposed plan from Israel that involves the Islamist terror group’s release of some remaining hostages whom it took during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks to move forward.
