Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog says there are “probably dozens of kidnapped Israelis and others in the hands of Hamas.”
In an interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker, Blinken said the Biden administration was “very actively working” to confirm reports that “several Americans” are among those killed over the weekend. “Similarly,” he added, “we’ve seen reports about hostages and again, we’re very actively trying to verify them, and nail that down.” Several Israeli media outlets have reported that at least 600 people have been killed so far this weekend in Israel.
” He added that he wasn’t able to confirm any specific numbers, but said that there are “probably dozens of kidnapped Israelis and others in the hands of Hamas.” Brennan asked Herzog, “At what cost?” Israel is prepared to get hostages out of Gaza. The ambassador replied that it was “premature” to discuss the issue. “We’ll have to deal with it in due time,” he said. “It’s a very complicated situation. But I think it’s premature to discuss any deals or prices or whatever. Right now, we are at war.
