Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo claimed on Thursday that President Joe Biden “won’t even talk about the fact that Americans are still being held” in Gaza.
However, the claim made by Pompeo is false. President Biden has addressed the issue of Americans held in Gaza on multiple occasions since October. On May 31, Biden mentioned that American hostages would be released in the first phase of a proposed deal with Israel and Hamas, emphasizing the importance of bringing them home.
