White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says 17 American citizens remain unaccounted for, possibly because they are being held hostage in Gaza.

This is the first time that the White House has provided a number regarding the number of unaccounted-for Americans.

National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby confirms that Americans are being held by Hamas.

Israel’s Channel 12 news quotes Al-Arabiya reporting that Egypt has received an assurance from Hamas that it will not harm hostages with foreign citizenship or dual citizenship.

Consider all the hostages dead already. Any freed in the coming days should be considered a bonus to what needs to be done.

A promise from Hamas is worth about as much as a Venezuelan bolivare, and spends just about as well. Nobody should take such a declaration seriously.

We’re to take promises from a group that targets non combatants as military policy as serious

Bullshit

Somebody better be planning how to save some of them at least

They have slaughtered, beheaded, burned and mutilated a thousand people at least and now they declare they won’t harm anyone? The evil incarnate terrorists need to be removed from Gaza and by any and all means. Gaza needs to be really free and getting rid of all terrorists and terrorist supporters is what must happen.

The Israelis will soon have 2 million hostages. The Gazans should be concerned that the Israelis have a ‘measured response.’ In other words, measure for measure...

These bastards would hold up the babies and small children in front of their mothers and cut their heads off, in front of them, so that the last thing they would see in this world is their child’s head being cut off. I understand their perverted theory is that they wanted to make the mothers be the last image of earth to last for eternity in the Muslim version of ‘paradise’. Then they would murder the mothers so they would join them. I think that the Israelis should make ‘pig blood bombs’ and drop them on Gaza...
