The State Department estimates that there are 400 American citizens stuck in Gaza, along with their families and about 1,000 people who are desperate to leave. The situation is dire, with some Americans even being held hostage by Hamas. The Biden administration has been facing criticism from both sides of the political spectrum for not taking decisive action to address this crisis. And rightfully so! The lives of American citizens should always be the top priority.
But it seems like the administration is finally waking up to the urgency of the situation. The president assured the American people that they can expect to see more departures from Gaza in the coming days. That’s a relief! It’s about time our government stepped up and prioritized the safety of our citizens.
Of course, there are those on the left who are more concerned with calling for a ceasefire or humanitarian pause to the fighting in Gaza. It’s clear where their priorities lie – with appeasing Hamas and ignoring the plight of American citizens. But Biden has made it clear that he will not support a ceasefire until all the hostages are released. Good for him! It’s about time we have a president who stands up for the safety and security of Americans.
Meanwhile, Hamas continues to show its true colors. A Hamas official openly stated that the group wants to repeat its Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. Their hatred for Israel and their disregard for human life is sickening. It’s clear that Hamas is not ready to end the conflict, despite the suffering it is causing. It’s about time we start holding them accountable for their actions.
Overall, it’s a step in the right direction that Americans will finally be able to leave Gaza. But let’s not forget that there are still hostages being held and lives at stake. The Biden administration must continue to prioritize the safe return of all American citizens. It’s about time they start taking this crisis seriously.
