WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday refused to comment on whether the United States would recognize the Palestinian State if Hamas agrees to relinquish its power and give it up to a transitional government or another force.
"I don't want to get ahead of the technical talks right now, they're extremely sensitive," Leavitt told a briefing.
She added that these talks are happening right now and will hopefully result in "one of the greatest peace deals this world has ever seen."
