The White House accused Hamas, on Friday, of raising the “non-practical” demands and procrastinating in reaching an agreement to release an American-Israeli hostage, in exchange for extending the ceasefire in Gaza.
A statement issued by the office of President Donald Trump, Steve Whitkov, stated that “Hamas is making a very bad proof that the time is in its favor, and it is not so,” adding that the United States “will respond to what is appropriate” if Hamas does not abide by the deadline.
