This may be a simple error by a media outlet, but if it’s not, this is deeply troubling.

In response to an inquiry from Ynet, the White House did not deny reports of indirect contact with Hamas. A State Department official said, “We cannot comment on ongoing negotiations, but we note recent statements from Qatar and Egypt indicating their continued efforts to reach an agreement. Brett McGurk and his team remain involved in these efforts.”

We already know from Steven Witkoff, the current envoy, that he largely outsourced the whole original ‘ceasefire’ to Brett McGurk who was Biden’s envoy.
