Trump’s ‘hostage envoy’ Adam Boehler has negotiated a possible new hostage–prisoner exchange deal with Hamas

Washington ’s grand strategy on the Palestinian issue remains unclear, as does its understanding of the players involved, especially Hamas , which has ruled the Gaza Strip since 2007 .

Questions have gained pertinence and urgency following a series of interviews that Donald Trump's new “hostage envoy,” Adam Boehler , gave to American and Israeli media platforms.

The US and Israel signed a ten-year strategic pact assuring the Jewish State of some four billion dollars annually , most of it spent in the US on American weaponry.

With the capricious Trump in power, the special relationship itself may be up in the air.

The next Mideast crisis could be triggered by a breakdown in negotiations over a renewed Israeli -Palestinian crisis.

What does Trump really want and what will he do, or not do, to achieve his ends? If all he really cares about is the United States , can Israel rely on him when it comes to the crunch? Trump has long criticised American boots on-the-ground involvement in wars in the Middle East .
