American families of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza are urging President Joe Biden to reach a deal with the militant group, independent of Israel.
The urgency of the situation with the American hostages in Gaza was made worse after the execution of one of the eight, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, a week and a half after his parents pled for his release at the Democratic National Convention. In a meeting with national security adviser Jake Sullivan on Sunday, the relatives of the hostages urged the Biden administration to reach a deal with Hamas to secure their release, with or without Israel, NBC News reported.
