Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has opted to avoid public confrontation with Trump over U.S. negotiations with Hamas, despite underlying tensions reported by Israeli officials. While Secretary of State Marco Rubio dismissed the Hamas talks as unproductive, Israeli adviser Ron Dermer insisted these talks do not represent the administration's official stance. Dermer noted assurances from Trump that further U.S. involvement would be tightly managed, yet Trump has publicly supported the talks aimed at helping Israel. The situation reflects considerable friction behind the scenes concerning the negotiations.
I don't really care about that that much, no offense to Dermer. If it was a big deal every time Dermer made a comment, I wouldn't have been able to do anything.
Dermer expressed that the Trump administration assured Israel that it won’t happen again, emphasizing Witkoff as the sole channel for negotiations over hostages.
