President Joe Biden on Friday credited 'extensive U.S. diplomacy' for getting hostages released from Hamas but said it's 'only a start' as no U.S. citizens have yet to be released. He told reporters that he wasn't sure when the first U.S. citizens would leave Gaza, as two U.S. women and four-year-old Abigail Mor Edan are thought to be among the hostages who were kidnapped during Hamas' brutal October 7 terror attack on Israel. Biden addressed the nation Friday afternoon from Nantucket's White Elephant Hotel, as he's spending Thanksgiving vacation with his family on the Massachusetts Island, staying at a $34 million waterfront compound. 'We don't know when that will occur but we expect it to occur,' Biden said when asked when Americans would be freed. 'And we don't know what the list of all the hostages are and when they'll be released, but we know the numbers that are going to be released.' 'So it's my hope and expectation it will be soon,' the president added. He said he had been hoping to get news about the U.S. citizens being held hostage before he addressed the press. 'In the next hour or so we'll know what the second wave of releases are. And I'm hopeful that is as we anticipate,' Biden said.

I’ll wait to read the fine print.
It’s pretty obvious that he has threatened Ben with a cut off of all support.
No Americans. I guess they really are afraid of you, ol’ diaper drawers....
Remember Folks, Joe Biden READS everything he “says,” from a teleprompter.
He seems to be talking, off the cuff, as himself but he is READING what, most likely, Barack Obama and his minions have written for Joe to read!
Yes, it is an open question if the US is more allied with Hamas and Iran than Israel.
We don’t even know how many are alive, since the Red Cross is not “demanding” to see them, and Hamas won’t let Israel know how many there are alive.
Obama doesn’t do anything himself. The man’s a stoner. It’s the acolytes of Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice who control Biden and the White House.
I don’t think he has any business stepping to the mike....he’s making them more valuable to Hamas.
Then, literally the minute Ronald Reagan took office, the hostages were released. They had their fun toying with Jimmah, and they knew Reagan would nuke their sorry asses.
I think the authors mean "no U.S. citizens have yet been released". Typical Daily Mail sloppy writing.
U S diplomacy usually involves large amounts of U S $’s. Everyone gets to wet their beak.
There is no way Hamas will give up their most valuable hostages.
Joe is once again playing himself, our country, and Israel.
Yes, it is an open question if the US is more allied with Hamas and Iran than Israel.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inthe typical leftist way, he’s trying to play on both sides.
He is placing maximum pressure on Israel to not defend itself and protecting the “Gazan Civilians” Interfered with Anthony Bliken on the first days of the war when Israel is facing a life or death battle.
Obama : ‘Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to (expletive) things up’

They were Israeli Jews on Oct 6th, miraculously became Americans on the 7th.

No US tourist goes to the SW desert of Israel.
