White House officials expressed frustration with the Israeli government, saying it is 'the only one not working toward a comprehensive deal.' According to them, 'Everyone is working to advance a comprehensive deal, except Israel.' The officials told representatives of hostages' families that there is frustration and anger over Israel's conduct in the Doha negotiations. They added that 'Leaders around the world understand and respect President Donald Trump's actions to end conflicts and wars, we see no logical reason why Israel wouldn't understand the message and act to bring their citizens home.'
