The United States is taking steps to assist with the ongoing hostage crisis in Israel, according to John Kirby from the National Security Council. Kirby stated that the US will do everything possible to help, even if there are no Americans involved. The State Department is exploring options for evacuating American citizens from the war zone, and Congress is urging the use of charter flights for this purpose. In light of recent Hamas attacks and the impending war on Gaza, the US has raised its travel advisory level for Israel to "level 3 - reconsider travel." The advisory cites terrorism and civil unrest as the reasons for the increased caution. Kirby mentioned that there is a small number of Americans believed to be held as hostages, but he could not provide details about their condition or whereabouts. The White House is working diligently to bring them home to their families.
