Can I deploy a React app which uses an index.html as the entry point?

I have the following code in my package.json – which is usually sufficient to deploy a react app to github pages. This app is slightly different as I use an index.html file in the public folder – does anyone know of a solution to deploy this to github pages?

I have already tried playing about with the url but makes no difference, I just get the standard react app readme page displayed post deployment.
