Rubio Says U.S. Hostage Envoy's Meeting with Hamas Was "One-Off"
(Reuters) Daphne Psaledakis - U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that President Trump's hostage envoy Adam Boehler's meeting with Hamas "was a one-off situation in which our special envoy for hostages, whose job it is to get people released, had an opportunity to talk directly to someone who has control over these people and was given permission and encouraged to do so." "As of now, it hasn't borne fruit. Doesn't mean he was wrong to try, but our primary vehicle for negotiations on this front will continue to be [special envoy for the Middle East Steve] Witkoff and the work he's doing through Qatar."
