"It's a very small group of hostages."

The White House said on Wednesday that so far details are scant when it comes to the location and conditions of Americans it believes are being held hostage by Hamas following the terrorist attacks against Israel.
National security adviser John Kirby told reporters there are a “very small” number of Americans believed to be held as hostages, but that he wasn’t aware of proof of life, and he couldn’t provide details about their whereabouts or condition. So far, the administration has determined 17 Americans to be unaccounted for and it is unclear precisely among those how many may be held hostage. The administration on Wednesday also updated the number of Americans killed to 22.

Very small unless it is your son or daughter.
no big deal /kirby
22 killed and 17 missing. Well it’s under 40, so according to Kirby that’s a “small” number.
Kirby is a Dumbass
22 US citizens have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war: State Department

And I saw else where the US citizens held hostage also increased.
"It's a very small group of hostages."
Have they gotten all the Americans out of Afghanistan yet?
What’s a couple here or there???
The Biden administration gets away with it. If there was a Republican administration and the state department was this dismissive, the Liberal press would go bonkers.
It’s 100% for each individual of the “very small number”.
This administration had no regard for American citizens left in Afghanistan. They had no idea how many there were, or are. It seems to be a pattern.
Same spin they used in Afghanistan. They ran out of new lies, so are telling the old ones again, and hoping nobody notices.
A friend of mine is working to evacuate 100 Americans from the war zone.
I’m sure there are many more patriots engaged in similar activities.
“... small number...”
Vile wording from a reprehensible individual.
So far
Was the original date for the Hamas attack on Israel 9/11? 5 for 5 hostage exchange and $6B announced on 9/11? The $6B was to delay 9/11 attack. Hmmm
