White House: Hamas has opportunity to accept our plan; if it doesn’t, consequences will be tragic
Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief
After US President Donald Trump issues his Sunday ultimatum to Hamas to accept the deal, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says, “The entire world should hear the president of the United States loud and clear.”
“Hamas has an opportunity to accept this plan and to move forward in a peaceful and prosperous manner in the region,” she says during a press briefing.
“If they don’t the consequences unfortunately are going to be very tragic,” Leavitt adds.
