Insurgent Democratic presidential challenger Rep. Dean Phillips would not have accepted the terms of the hostage release deal the Biden administration recently negotiated with Hamas terrorists, the Minnesota Democrat said this week.
Under the terms of the agreement, set to go into effect Friday, 50 women and children being held captive by Hamas in Gaza will be freed in exchange for the release of a number of jailed Palestinians in Israel.
The deal also includes a temporary cease-fire in Gaza that will last four days.
Phillips, who launched his effort to primary the 80-year-old president last month, slammed the deal, arguing that it doesn’t do enough for the Americans being held hostage in Palestinian territory.
