US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said, “100 days of captivity in Gaza is far too long. The United States will not rest until all remaining hostages, including six Americans, are reunited with their loved ones,” in a tweet on the X website.

The White House announced that US President Joe Biden is looking forward to maintaining close communications with the leaders of Egypt, Qatar, and Israel to return all detainees.

US President Joe Biden said, “I will continue to work to release American detainees held by Hamas.”

The Israeli war on the Gaza Strip has continued since the seventh of last October, claiming thousands of martyrs and tens of thousands of injuries, in addition to the destruction of buildings and roads.

The health system in the Gaza Strip is suffering from a very difficult situation, starting with the almost collapsed ambulance system, as the Israeli occupation bombed about 108 ambulances, and 11 hospitals out of 36 are partially operating.
