Release of Hostages being Held by Hamas Tweets

From Friday…

The YouTube is 10 minutes and 8 seconds long. His full remarks can be found here.

The video clip is 34 seconds long.

Beginning this morning, under a deal reached by extensive U.S. diplomacy, including numerous calls I’ve made from the Oval Office to leaders across the region, fighting in Gaza will halt for four days.

[snip]

It is only a start, but, so far, it’s gone well.  Earlier this morning, 13 Israeli hostages were released, including an elderly woman — a grandmother — and mothers with their young children, some under the age of six years old.
 
Separately, several Thai nationals and Filipino nationals who were also kidnapped by Hamas on the 7th, they were released as well.

[snip]

As I said, today’s release are the start of a process.  We expect more hostages to be released tomorrow and more the day after and more the day after that.  Over the next few days, we expect that dozens of hostages will be returned to their families.

We also remember all those who are still being held and renew our commitment to work for their release as well.  Two American women and one four-year-old child, Abigail, who remains among those missing.

We also will not stop until we get these hostages brought home and an answer to their whereabouts.

I remain in personal contact with the leaders of Qatar, Egypt, and Israel to make sure this stays on track and every aspect of the deal is implemented.

From Sunday…

The YouTube is 8 minutes and 23 seconds long. The White House has not uploaded his remarks–yet.

The video clip is 53 seconds long.

Since the White House has failed to post his remarks from Sunday, I’ll be transcribing what I hear in the video clip…

President Biden:

For weeks, I’ve been advocating to pause in the fighting for two purposes: to increase the assistance getting in to the Gaza civilians who need help, and to facilitate release of the hostages.

We know innocent children in Gaza are suffering greatly as well, because this war that Hamas has unleashed has such consequences.

Thousands have been killed, and from the earliest days of this crisis I’ve worked closely with leaders throughout the region to expand the delivery of critical humanitarian assistance to help innocent Palestinians in need who are not part of Hamas.

Under this deal, the fighting in Gaza has now been paused for three days. Dozens of families have been reunited. And we’ve worked urgently, urgently to take advantage of the pause to surge aid into Gaza.

More is needed, but this deal is delivering life-saving results.
