Sullivan highlighted that Hamas is motivated by their own strategic decisions rather than American politics, stating, 'the key thing motivating Hamas is not American politics or the American presidential transition.' This underscores the notion that the group's actions are driven by situational assessments rather than external political narratives.
Sullivan elaborated that the decision-making regarding a ceasefire lies with Hamas, emphasizing, 'the key actor right now holding the decision on the ceasefire is Hamas...after Hezbollah has abandoned them, after their leader has been killed, after their military formations have been degraded...' This illustrates the internal dynamics affecting Hamas’s strategies.
Regarding cooperation between administrations, Sullivan remarked, 'there has been very good coordination between our team and the incoming team on all of the aspects of the crisis in the Middle East. This is how it should be in a transition,' showing a commitment to effective governance regardless of changing political leadership.
