Recent meetings between Hamas leaders and U.S. hostage negotiator Adam Boehler have been focused on securing the release of an American-Israeli dual national held by the militant group in Gaza, according to a senior Hamas official on Sunday. Taher Al-Nono, political adviser to the Palestinian group’s leader, confirmed direct talks with Washington in the Qatari capital over the past week. Al-Nono stated that discussions in Doha have centered on releasing one of the dual-nationality prisoners and implementing the phased agreement to end the Israel-Hamas conflict. This engagement marks a departure from the long-standing U.S. policy against negotiating with groups classified as terrorist organizations. President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, emphasized the importance of securing the release of the 21-year-old man believed to be the last American hostage held by Hamas in Gaza. Both Israel and Hamas have shown readiness to negotiate the next phase of ceasefire talks, with recent deadly incidents underscoring the fragility of the current truce.
