President Joe Biden flashed a wide grin on Tuesday as he skillfully dodged questions about the American hostages being held in Gaza by Hamas. During a meeting on countering the flow of fentanyl into the United States, Biden casually mentioned that the United States, Israel, and Hamas were on the brink of sealing a deal to bring the hostages home. However, when pressed for more details by a persistent reporter, Biden simply brushed off the inquiry with a playfully mysterious attitude, refusing to disclose any further information.
In a stunning revelation, Politico reported that the U.S. has brokered a potential agreement between Israel and Hamas, which would temporarily halt the fighting in Gaza in order to secure the release of the unfortunate hostages. While an official announcement was anticipated on Tuesday, it was cautioned that negotiations of this nature can sometimes collapse before coming to fruition. As of November 14, at least nine Americans were unaccounted for following Hamas’ reprehensible terrorist attack on Israel.
Despite his refusal to elaborate, Biden did offer a message of hope to the families directly impacted by this troubling situation. During a briefing on the “climate crisis,” a reporter implored the president to address the hostages and provide them with reassurance. Ever the master of suspense, Biden conveyed his unwavering commitment to resolving the issue, but kept the details clandestine. When asked for a message to the families, Biden simply stated, “Hang in there. We’re coming,” before disappearing from the room.
