Assuming they are still alive.
The conflict between the facts and this new proposal is jarring to say the least:
Here in the chamber tonight are American families whose loved ones are still being held by Hamas.
I pledge to all the families that we will not rest until we bring their loved ones home. ...
Hamas
could end this conflict today by releasing the hostages, laying down
arms, and surrendering those responsible for October 7th. ...
Tonight, I’m directing the U.S. military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine and temporary shelters.
I remember when Americans held hostage by Muslims in Iran was a crisis which toppled a president. Now hardly anyone gives a fig because they're Jews.
