He said he's doing 'everything possible' to bring the Americans home.
President Joe Biden speaks Oct. 10, 2023, in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington, about the war between Israel and the militant Palestinian group Hamas.President Joe Biden on Friday spoke with the families of 14 missing Americans, saying they are in "agony" as they wait for more information about their loved ones who remain unaccounted for since the Hamas terror attack on Israel this past weekend.
"We're working around the clock to secure the release of Americans held by Hamas, in close cooperation with Israel and our partners around the region. We're not going to stop until we bring them home," Biden continued. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, while in Doha on Friday, said the U.S. and Qatar are working "intensively together" to secure the release of the Americans and others taken hostage by Hamas.
"They're pure evil," Biden said of Hamas. "As I've said from the beginning, the United States, make no mistake about it, stands with Israel." For the past several days, Israel has fired airstrikes at Gaza and is currently preparing for a possible ground invasion. Early Friday, the Israel Defense Forces told more than 1 million Gazans to flee south to avoid the fighting.visits to the region
