Biden affirms that Hamas freed a US citizen

US President Joe Biden verified that Liat Beinin, an American citizen held captive by Hamas, was freed on Wednesday.

He continued by saying he had talked to Beinin's family.

“I’ve got some very good news to report. Liat Benin is safe in Egypt, she’s crossed the border. I’ve talked with her mother and father. They’re very appreciative. And things are moving well. He told reporters on the tarmac that "she'll soon be home with her three children" before boarding Air Force One to head back to Washington, DC.

Yehuda Beinin, Beinin's father, claims that Beinin and her spouse, Aviv Atzili, have not been seen since Hamas attacked their kibbutz on October 7.

Uncertainty surrounds the whereabouts of another American woman abducted by Hamas. On Sunday, 4-year-old US citizen Abigail Edan was set free.
