Asked whether the three to four day timeline that US President Donald Trump gave yesterday for Hamas to respond to his Gaza peace deal still stands, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says that it does.
“I will reiterate what the President of the United States said — three or four days,” Leavitt says during a press briefing.
“There are some very sensitive discussions that are taking place, but I certainly don’t want to get ahead of any announcement at this podium,” she adds.
