President Biden has expressed deep concern for the eight American hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, particularly the young women civilian hostages that Hamas refuses to release. He has criticized Israel's 'indiscriminate bombing' of the territory and underscored the importance of the ICRC being granted access to the hostages. Amid an intensification of Israel's military campaign in Gaza and a pause in fighting, Biden plans to hold his first in-person meeting with the families of the hostages at the White House on Wednesday. This follows the White House's non-response to the families' request to attend a Hanukkah celebration. Negotiations to secure the release of more hostages, led by Qatari and Egyptian mediators, are ongoing.
