In a recent turn of events, the U.S. has been pressuring Israel for a more meticulous campaign against Hamas in Gaza. A recent notable moment in this new policy twist was an in-person meeting of President Biden with relatives of eight American hostages held by Hamas. Participants described the meeting as constructive and expressed their faith in the President's commitment to their cause.
Among the participants was the great-aunt of a rescued hostage, a four-year-old Israeli-American. The young girl, Abigail Edan, was released by Hamas two weeks ago. During the meeting, the families of hostages, inclusive of sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers, shared their personal stories, impressions, and expectations.
