Biden celebrates the release of more hostages and advocates for the “two-state solution”

Miami, Nov 26 (EFE).- US President Joe Biden celebrated this Sunday the release of another 17 hostages held by the Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip and said he is working for the “two-state solution” as the “only way to guarantee long-term security” for both Israelis and Palestinians.

At a press conference in Nantucket (Massachusetts), Biden expressed his hope that the release of hostages will continue, with the intervention of other countries in the region. “We are looking for a way to end this and have all the hostages released,” he said.

He had emotional words for Abigalil, the four-year-old American girl kidnapped and released today, who he said has suffered a “terrible trauma,” although she is now “free and in Israel.”

What (Abigail) endured is unthinkable,” the president said about the girl, whose father was murdered in front of her.

This Sunday, Israel received 17 hostages released by the Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip who were received by the Red Cross and are being transferred to Israeli territory, according to official Israeli and Palestinian sources. EFE
