Now they keep talking to Hamas about hostages held in Gaza, the White House confirmed.
So far, Washington has avoided direct engagement with Hamas, and there is a long -standing American policy against direct contact with groups that cite as a terrorist organization.
The Karolina Leavitt White House secretary told reporters at Brifing that Israel was consulted before the interview.
The news of the conversations was first reported by Axios, who said that two parties discussed the publication of American hostages, as well as a broader agreement for the end of the war.
