U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Adam Boehler would be his special presidential envoy for hostage affairs.
Trump said Boehler was a lead negotiator for him on his team that worked the Abraham Accords in 2020, a series of normalization agreements between Israel and Arab nations.
“He has negotiated with some of the toughest people in the World, including the Taliban, but Adam knows that NO ONE is tougher than the United States of America, at least when President Trump is its Leader. Adam will work tirelessly to bring our Great American Citizens HOME,” Trump said.
Meanwhile families of hostages welcome the appointment of Adam Boehler as Special Envoy for Hostage Affairs. Every day our loved ones remain in captivity is one day too many.
We applaud President-elect Trump’s commitment to making the release of the hostages a top priority. We look forward to working closely with Mr. Boehler to bring our loved ones home.
One hundred hostages remain in Hamas captivity after 425 days—they are our children, our parents, our siblings. Time is running out—we must secure their immediate release through a deal before it’s too late.
