The president of the United States, Joe Biden, expressed his conviction this Tuesday that the release of the Hamas hostages in Gaza will be achieved and sent them a message: “Hang on, we’re coming.”
This is how he expressed himself when asked by reporters at the White House what message he would like to convey to the kidnapped people and their families.
Biden assured that he maintains daily contacts with people involved in the negotiation with the Palestinian militia and highlighted that the release of the hostages “it’s going to happen”, although he ruled out “Get in detaills”.
On Monday, the president explained that he has talks with Israel to achieve a “break” humanitarian aid in the fighting in Gaza and the “liberation of the prisoners” of Hamas, in a process in which Qatar is mediating.
Palestinian militias in Gaza kidnapped more than 240 people on October 7, when they carried out the brutal attack on Israeli soil in which they killed some 1,200 people.
Since then, Israeli retaliatory attacks – by air, sea and land – have left more than 11,180 dead, 28,200 injured, 3,000 missing and more than 1.5 million displaced in Gaza.
The spokesman for the Al Qasam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, accused Israel on Monday of “delay” when reaching an agreement for an exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, and indicated that an agreement was about to be achieved through Qatari mediators.
