Biden: 'Pursuing every avenue' to bring home hostages
President Joe Biden said Wednesday he comes to Israel with a single message: "You're not alone."
"To those who are living in limbo, waiting desperately to learn the fate of a loved one, especially to families of the hostages, you're not alone," Biden said in remarks from Israel. "We're working with partners throughout the region, pursuing every avenue to bring home those who are being held captive by Hamas."
"I can't speak publicly about all the details, but let me assure you, for me, as the American president, there is no higher priority than the release and safe return of all these hostages," he said.
