WASHINGTON — The White House confirmed Wednesday that American officials have engaged in direct talks with Hamas — despite a longtime US policy of not engaging with terrorists.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the contacts at a press briefing — framing it as a way to accomplish American aims in Israel’s 17-month war against the Gaza Strip-based Islamists.
