US, Israel unsure how many Hamas hostages are 'still alive,' Jake Sullivan says
Fox News ^ | November 12, 2023 | Anders Hagstrom

Posted on 11/12/2023 11:29:36 AM PST by Navy Patriot

Sullivan is working to secure the release of 10 missing Americans from Gaza

Sullivan made the comments during an appearance on ABC's "This Week." He said the U.S. remains focused on securing the release of the nine U.S. citizens and one U.S. green card-holder believed to be in Hamas custody. He said that while Israel is classifying all 239 missing individuals as hostages of Hamas, there is no way to be sure how many of them are "still alive."

"We do not know the precise number of hostages. We know the number of missing, and that's the number the Israelis have given, but we don't know how many of those are still alive," Sullivan told ABC. "As far as Americans are concerned, there are nine missing American citizens as well as a missing legal permanent resident--a green card holder."

We certainly wouldn't want to "trigger" any Palestinians, now, would we?

If jake was serious, which he is not, he would call up the Qatari Shiek and tell him he has 24 hour to get his Hamas friends to free the American, or he gives those Hamas guys to Israel. If no we invade and seize Qatar, send all the Qataries to Gaza and populate Qatar with Christians.

Is there a more worthless putz than Sullivan in Joe Hussein Obama’s fraudulent cabal?

Another reason a 'ceasefire' in Gaza makes sense.

I don’t believe so, that’s why I featured him in this thread.

US already has a base in Qatar.

It’d be easy.

They never did know.

And if they are still alive, I’m betting they are wishing they weren’t.

I have one certain blessing.

I don't have to make that decision.

what happened to ‘diplomat’ speak? how hurtful to talk about how many are alive when you have no knowledge. families are strung out. Sullivan fails on all levels, day in and day out and year in, year out

I believe the last really good Diplomat that the US had was President Ronald Reagan.

So HamAss, indeed most all Muzzies insist that all the Jews must die, they go on to say repeatedly that all infidels must die yet there are some that continue to believe that these filthy animals actually care or care to keep their hostages alive when they are seeing that Israel is telling the truth about ending HamAss.

IMHO it’s delusional to think any of the hostages will be found alive going forward.

Just promise to send the militant Remnant Third of Palis to the rest of the Palirat diaspora in Dubai, Jordan, Saudi, and Egypt. Shit dude, they are on int'l cruise ships as your cabin boy, London smoke shops as your cigar cutter, airport baggage handlers stealing your shit, you name it. Everywhere.

I guarantee you, the House of Maktoum has their SIA at the DXB airport customs drilling down on every incoming Pali, Egyptian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Syrian, even Suad passport.

The Emirates cannot afford even one Pali-induced massacre against a recently-'opened' country that was quickly fully 90% expatriates from Britain and Eurasia! Millions of Britons and Europeans semi-permanently live/retired in Dubai!

The Saudis might be able to cover up some nutty Pali going apeshit in Medina, but the Maktoums cannot afford even a single. expatriate. death. at the hands of a banished Pali soreass Mooselime. Not ONE.

Jake is the last Clintonite, he is not Obama Army. He was one of two people -- the other, unironically, was Bubba -- to insist that President Trump was not just a real threat to win 2016, but if Cankles didn't stop mucking around and redirect millions she spent on driving up the PV in safe states like Kali, she would lose the EV.

That said, Sullivan has always been a shitheel when it comes to foreign policy. Kinda like his mentor Bubba...

There are a small number of still photos available purportedly showing the shocking treatment of some of the Hamas hostages. Also there is a social media message from Trevor Noah, including a photo, where he states

This footage of the hostages was smuggled out of Gaza 3 days ago. The girls are all right but they are being horribly sexually exploited and made to eat poop from each others butts.

I do not have access to the video mentioned by Trevor Noah.
