White House: Gaza hostage deal hinges now on Hamas, ball is in their court
Such a deal “is in the national security interest of the United States. And we're going to press for it relentlessly," US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said.
Hamas delayed its anticipated response to an initial Gaza hostage proposal drafted in Paris as the war cabinet met on Sunday night, and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that the matter now rests with the terror group’s leaders.
“It’s up to Hamas to come forward and respond to what is a serious proposal,” Sullivan told NBC’s Meet the Press.
He discussed the proposal, which was already approved by Israel’s war cabinet and had been passed to Hamas last week by Qatar and Egypt, both of which are mediating the deal to secure the release of more than 130 hostages held in Gaza for close to five months now; around six are US citizens.
