Biden is optimistic about the release of Hamas hostages in Gaza: "Hang on, we're coming"

MADRID, 14 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The president of the United States, Joe Biden, has been optimistic about the possible release of hostages taken by the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) during its unprecedented offensive against Israel in early October.

"Hang on. We're coming," Biden said to the nearly 240 citizens held captive by the Palestinian militia, among whom are not only Israelis, but also international citizens, according to the CNN news network.

"I have been talking to the people involved (in the negotiations) every day. I think it is going to happen, but I don't want to go into details," the US president said, regarding the release of hostages.

The United States authorities already reported over the weekend that one of the hostages taken by the Palestinian militia is an American minor of just three years old. Several countries, especially Qatar, have started talks to release those held captive.

On Israel's part, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asserted that "there will be no ceasefire" without the release of hostages, while the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have redoubled their attacks on the northern Gaza Strip.
