After wrapping an Oval Office meeting with Dominican Republic President Luis Abinader, President Joe Biden confirmed that 74 dual-citizen Americans have left Gaza.
“Good news — we got out today 74 American folks, dual citizens,” the president told reporters.
From Newsmax:
Biden had said U.S. citizens would be able to start leaving on Wednesday from Gaza, a narrow strip under Israeli bombardment since Palestinian Hamas gunmen on Oct. 7 killed what Israel said were 1,400 people and took more than 240 captive into Gaza.
Further details were not immediately available on who had been able to leave Gaza and when.
Biden has thrown his support behind Israel – and visited the country last month – but he has shifted his response in recent weeks as the humanitarian situation worsens in Gaza and the civilian death toll rises.
