President Joe Biden speaks in the State Dining Room of the White House with Vice President Kamala Harris, left, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Washington, DC, on Oct. 10, 2023.
resident Biden is faced with the thorny reality that American citizens are among the hostages Hamas terrorists kidnapped and took into Gaza over the weekend, but the U.S. government doesn’t know exactly how many of its citizens are in that situation or where they are.
Beyond confirming that some of the hostages are US citizens, White House officials had few other details about them or what options for their rescue are available to Biden. Nahar described how Adrienne was on the phone with him and her daughter during the assault when they heard her scream. Neta said that his mom, who had worked as a nurse and midwife, spoke in Arabic to try to calm down the attackers.
