First Group of Hostages Released by Hamas Is ‘Only a Start,’ Biden Says
President Biden expressed hope that the four-day truce between Israel and Hamas could open the door to a longer cease-fire.
-
This morning, I’ve been engaged with my team as we began the first difficult days of implementing this deal. It’s only a start, but so far it’s gone well. We expect more hostages to be released tomorrow, and more the day after and more the day after that. Over the next few days, we expect that dozens of hostages will be returned to their families. We also remember all those who are still being held and renew our commitment to work for their release as well. Two American women and one four-year-old child, Abigail, who remains among those missing. We also will not stop until we get these hostages brought home and an answer to their whereabouts. I think the chances are real.
