White House National Security Council Spokesperson Sean Savett responded to a video released by Hamas on Saturday where an Israeli-American hostage spoke about the horrors of life as a captive for more than 420 days.
“The hostage video released today of American-Israeli citizen Edan Alexander is a cruel reminder of Hamas’s terror against citizens of multiple countries, including our own. We have been in touch with Edan’s family,” Savett wrote.
“The war in Gaza would stop tomorrow and the suffering of Gazans would end immediately — and would have ended months ago — if Hamas agreed to release the hostages.”
The video, just over 3 minutes long, was posted to Telegram and had a message for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President-elect Trump.
