US President Joe Biden will meet later this afternoon at the White House with the families of the seven remaining American-Israeli hostages still being held in Gaza, a National Security Council spokesperson tells The Times of Israel.
The families met yesterday with National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan and urged the Biden administration to work with Donald Trump’s transition team to secure a hostage deal before the president-elect enters office in just over two months.
Biden is also slated to host Trump later today and will reportedly raise the issue with him.
