WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The death of six hostages whose bodies were recovered by Israeli troops over the weekend underscores the urgency to get a ceasefire deal in Gaza and the release of the remaining captives, the White House said on Tuesday.
“Clearly what happened over the weekend underscores how important it is to get this done as quickly as possible,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters in a briefing, adding that Hamas was responsible for their deaths.
