A senior Biden administration official has the US is “hopeful and doing everything we possibly can to get the hostages out”, Reuters reports.
“But there’s absolutely no guarantee a) that it is going to happen or b) when it’s going to happen,” the official added.
“We are going to do all we possibly can to make sure that all the hostages of all nationalities come out of Gaza. So there’s an active process going on here with multiple lines of effort, including indirect engagement to try to find a framework to get the hostages out of Gaza,” the official said.
