‘US will continue to work hard’, White House dismisses reports of Israel-Hamas deal to free hostages in Gaza
Dismissing reports of a US-brokered deal, the White House on Saturday rejected claims of a potential agreement between Israel and Hamas. The purported deal was said to involve the release of dozens of women and children held in Gaza in exchange for a five-day pause in hostilities.
The White House’s response indicates a denial of any active involvement or agreement in the reported negotiations. The situation in the region remains complex, with ongoing tensions between Israel and Hamas, and the denial from the White House suggests that any diplomatic efforts or agreements are not officially recognized or confirmed.
The reported deal, if accurate, would have represented a temporary humanitarian gesture amid the longstanding conflict. However, the White House’s dismissal underscores the need for caution in accepting unverified reports and highlights the complexities involved in navigating diplomatic efforts in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
As the situation continues to evolve, clarity on diplomatic initiatives and potential agreements will be crucial for understanding the dynamics of the conflict and the prospects for a lasting resolution. The denial from the White House adds a layer of uncertainty to the reported negotiations, leaving the status of any potential deal in question.
