Biden's Promise for Hostage Releases: A Long Journey of Healing

President Joe Biden has described the recent release of hostages during a temporary cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict as "only a start," promising to continue fighting for the release of those still unaccounted for. The releases included 13 Israeli citizens, 10 Thai citizens, and one Filipino citizen, while Israel released 39 Palestinian prisoners. Biden expressed his commitment to negotiating for the release of the remaining hostages, including two American women and a 4-year-old child. He also discussed the aid being sent to Gaza and his belief that Hamas struck when they did due to his efforts to bring peace and recognition of Israel's right to exist.
