Boehler said that an „optimistic“ scenario would see Israeli captives released within „weeks“.

„We‘re the United States. We‘re not an agent of Israel,“ Boehler said. „We have specific interests at play, and we did communicate back and forth.
„What I wanted to do is jump start some negotiations that were in a very fragile place. And I wanted to say to Hamas, what is the end game that you want here?“
