Washington President Biden on Wednesday met 4-year-old Abigail Mor Edan, an American girl who was taken hostage by Hamas after both her parents were killed in the group's Oct. 7 attack.
The president met with Abigail at the White House, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said. Her parents were killed by militants when she was kidnapped. Her mother was shot in front of her and her father was gunned down using his body to shield her.
A dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, Abigail turned 4 in captivity. She was held by the Gaza-based militant group for 50 days and was the youngest American hostage to be released.
Sullivan said meeting Abigail was a "reminder in getting to see her that there are still Americans and others being held hostage."

(2,845 posts)The sketchy dark money was propping Hamas up and money came from Qatar who also channeled kickbacks from Russia to Jared Kushner. 911 was similar Bin Laden was an under taxed heir and dark money accounts funded those attackers.
Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered Israeli citizens, filmed their savagery, cheered and rejoiced their carnage with fellow Palestinians joining in macabre revelry....
Advice to Hamas and every Arab state that gives safety to terrorist organizations...don't start a war with Israel if you aren't willing to pay the price....

(545 posts)The US would have justification to attack Hamas directly ourselves.
In fact for those that don't like how Israel had fought this war maybe that's the best option.
