Hamas was the side that began the outreach to US President Donald Trump toward a deal to free a US-Israeli dual national from captivity in Gaza, Axios has reported, and the group did it via an Arab-American Trump contact with no role in the administration.

That contact was Bishara Bahbah, who previously led Arab Americans for Trump, and has since changed the name to Arab Americans For Peace after Trump proposed turning the Strip into a beach resort... It was through Bahbah that Hamas was able to reach Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Axios said.
