The Biden administration is reportedly considering a unilateral deal with Hamas to secure the release of five American hostages who hold Israeli citizenship. This negotiation would be conducted independently of Israel and through Qatari mediators. The move, reported by NBC and Sky News Arabia, suggests the US might bypass broader talks if they fail, potentially incentivizing Hamas to release the hostages. The proposal indicates a significant shift in US policy, traditionally aligned with Israel in such matters. NBC reports that the US might negotiate the release of five American hostages through Qatari mediation if broader talks fail. The plan has been perceived as a snub to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
