In an unprecedented move, the U.S. has engaged directly with Hamas officials regarding the release of American-Israeli dual citizens taken hostage during the October 7 attacks. These discussions began in January 2023 and mark a significant shift in U.S. policy, which traditionally refrains from negotiating with groups labeled as terrorist organizations. While the talks have faced challenges, a Hamas official noted that both sides are exploring various issues, and nothing is off the table, revealing a potential shift in negotiations despite previous hesitations.
This saves time and effort and minimizes obstacles. Talks are not going very easily, but this is positive.
Nothing is off the table,
