After the Hamas terror group released a video showing a female hostage receiving medical treatment and saying that they “took care of me,” a White House spokesperson said the woman was probably speaking under duress and called the video “propaganda” meant to whitewash the Hamas terrorists.

Hamas on Monday released a video showing a statement from 21-year-old Mia Schem, one of the hostages seized at an open-air music festival during the devastating Oct. 7 attack on Israeli communities that left some 1,400 dead, mostly civilians.
