Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed over the weekend that President Donald Trump’s framework for peace in Gaza along with the release of the remaining Israeli hostages being held by Hamas had been accepted by the terrorist group.
Rubio made his comments during a Sunday interview with “Fox News Sunday” guest host Gillian Turner.
“On Monday, President Trump gave Hamas a deadline of 6pm tonight to accept all 20 points of his proposed plan. Then Friday, Hamas came forward and said well, we accept one. Are you concerned at all that this is a play for more time? A stalling tactic?” Turner asked.
“I don’t think that’s an accurate, a fairly inaccurate description of what’s happened here. Two, the way to think about this is two-fold. Number one, is Hamas has accepted the entire construct of President Trump’s proposal for releasing the hostages. That’s number one, ok. Forty-eight, twenty that are alive, twenty-eight that are deceased,” Rubio said.
