President Joe Biden on Wednesday said US passport holders who have been trapped in the Gaza Strip during the nearly month-long Israeli war against Hamas will be able to exit into Egypt starting today.
Speaking in Minnesota at an event to highlight his administration’s investment in rural areas, the president said “American leadership” had brought about “a situation where safe passage for wounded Palestinians and foreign nationals to exit Gaza has started” and said the US nationals who are able to exit today would be “the first group” of “probably over 1,000” to leave.
