Trump: Fewer Than 24 Hostages Are Still Alive

During a National Day of Prayer event at the White House on Thursday, US President Donald Trump discussed the situation of the hostages in Gaza, and said that fewer than 24 are still alive.

During his address, Trump addressed the parents of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, who were present in the crowd: “I can not imagine your pain, but we’re all alongside you, we stand by you, and we’re going to do everything possible in the very short period of time. As you know, things are heating up. I’ve gotten a lot of hostages out. But they (Hamas) want to do it as slowly as possible because they use them as pawns.”

He declared, “We’re working very hard to save your son. We’ve got news coming out both good and bad, but we’re working very hard.”
