"We're working around the clock to secure the release of Americans held by Hamas," Biden said.
"They're going through agony not knowing what the status of their sons, daughters, husbands, wives, children are," Biden said. "It's gut-wrenching. I assured them my personal commitment to do everything possible, everything possible, to return every missing American to their families."
