Axius reported that US and Israeli officials are trying to alleviate the tensions that lasted for several days behind the scenes due to the unprecedented talks conducted by the President of Donald Trump’s administration with Hamas.
The site quoted the White House press secretary as saying that Trump fully supports the talks of his hostage envoy Adam Boller with Hamas.
Israeli officials have reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to enter into a public clash with Trump since the disclosure of talks between Washington and Hamas.
But Israeli officials expressed in special sessions their anger at these talks, according to the sources of Axios website.
In the same context, an informed source said that the Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dermer, who is close to Netanyahu, said during the security cabinet meeting that the “American hostile envoy” talks with Hamas do not represent the position of the Trump administration.
It is expected that the American envoy to the Middle East will arrive in the Middle East, Stephen Wittouf, to Doha at a later time, to participate in the negotiations “through the Qatari intermediaries, and not through a direct meeting with Hamas.”
“Axius”, quoting an Israeli official, said that Wittouf is ready to stay (in Doha) from 3 to 4 days to try to reach an agreement.
According to Israeli officials, Witkeov will not meet Hamas unless there is concrete concessions.
