Talking to Terrorists: US-Hamas Hostage Talks - with Dr. Michael Oren

Mar 13, 2025

The U.S. has been in direct talks with Hamas, aiming to negotiate the release of hostages still held in Gaza. Leading the discussions is Adam Boehler, the U.S. Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs, who recently met with Hamas officials in Doha. He described the talks as “very productive,” indicating they extend beyond hostage negotiations to broader discussions about a long-term ceasefire.

Boehler has suggested that Hamas may be willing to disarm and relinquish control of Gaza—but not without significant concessions. For its part, Israel is increasing pressure, cutting off electricity and halting aid deliveries to Gaza.

So, is a deal within reach? Or are these negotiations heading nowhere?

Host Aviva Klompas discusses the latest developments with former Israeli ambassador to Washington, Dr. Michael Oren.
