Hamas strongly reacts to Biden for linking Gaza cease-fire to hostage release | Details

Hamas criticised US President Joe Biden on Sunday for linking a Gaza cease-fire to the release of Israelis held captive by the Palestinian group. Biden stated on Saturday that a cease-fire in Gaza could occur as soon as “tomorrow” if Hamas released Israelis in its custody. Hamas deemed this stance as a step backward from the outcomes of previous negotiations. They noted that their approval of a proposal, facilitated by mediators from Egypt and Qatar, had been done with the knowledge of the United States. #BidenCeasefire #CeasefireOffer #US #Netanyahu #RafahOffensive #biden #israel #hamas #rafah #hostage #palestine #MiddleEast #usa #IsraelHamasWar #houthis #hezbollah #iran ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.121~
