Biden accuses Hamas of ‘backing away’ from hostage-truce deal
US President Joe Biden says the Hamas terror group is “backing away” from a deal with Israel to agree on a ceasefire in the war in Gaza and a hostages-for-prisoners exchange.
“It’s still in play, but you can’t predict,” he says as he prepares to leave Chicago after a keynote address to the Democratic National Convention. “Israel says they can work it out… Hamas is now backing away.”
