A senior Hamas official says Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, made a direct deal with the resistance movement: release US soldier Edan Alexander, and in return, the Trump administration would pressure Israel to lift the blockade on Gaza, allow aid in, and call for a ceasefire. But the U.S. broke its word. “It was a deal,” said Basem Naim, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, in an interview with Drop Site. He said the promise came from Witkoff himself. “They didn’t violate the deal. They threw it in the trash, “ Instead of aid, Israel intensified its attacks just one day after Alexander’s release, bombing the European Hospital in Khan Younis and killing 28 people.
