White House Backs Israel's Decision to Delay Releasing Palestinian Prisoners
(Reuters) The White House said Sunday that it supports Israel's decision to delay releasing 600 Palestinian prisoners, citing the "barbaric treatment" of Israeli hostages by Hamas. Delaying the prisoner release is an "appropriate response" to Hamas's treatment of the hostages, National Security Council spokesman Brian Hughes said. President Donald Trump is prepared to support Israel in "whatever course of action it chooses regarding Hamas," he added.
