The White House confirmed that US officials are in ongoing talks with Hamas. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the discussions aim to protect American interests but did not share details. The talks, reportedly held in Doha, Qatar, focus on securing hostages and a possible long-term truce. US hostage envoy Adam Boehler met Hamas representatives, Axios reported. Despite the US ban on engaging with terrorist groups, Leavitt said Boehler has the authority to negotiate. Israel has been consulted on the discussions. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains uncertain.
