US President Joe Biden held a meeting at the White House on Wednesday with Abigail Edan, the 4-year-old American dual citizen who was previously held hostage by Hamas following the October 7 terrorist attacks. This meeting served as a poignant reminder of the ongoing situation of Americans still being held captive by Hamas.
Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser, emphasized the continuous efforts being made to ensure the safe return of all American hostages to their families. He stated, 'We're working day in and day out to ensure all of them also are able to get safely home to their loved ones.'
