On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit<\/a> reported that Hamas is currently blocking about 500 Americans stranded in Gaza from leaving.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) spoke the plain truth about the nearly 500 Americans in Gaza not being allowed to leave by Hamas: They are being held hostage by the Islamist Palestinian terrorist group. The nearly 500 are in addition to the \u201cless than ten\u201d Americans known to have been taken hostage in the October 7 terror attack by Hamas on Israel. The Biden administration has said Hamas has been making demands for their release that the U.S. is not prepared to meet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only two American have been allowed to leave Hamas-controlled Gaza since the October 7 attack that saw 1,400 Israelis and 33 Americans killed. Over 200 Israelis and \u201cless than ten\u201d Americans were taken hostage in the attack and are being held by Hamas. Four hostages have been released: the two Americans referenced above and two Israelis. One Israeli was rescued this week by the IDF and Shin Bet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Blackburn followed with a statement calling on National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan to resign, \u201cHamas is preventing 500 American citizens from being able to leave Gaza. These Americans are considered hostages under federal law. @JakeSullivan46 needs to resign immediately.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article also notes:<\/p>\n

Blackburn signed on to a\u00a0letter by a group of Republican senators<\/a>\u00a0denouncing Joe Biden\u2019s proposal for $9 billion in \u201chumanitarian assistance\u201d for Gaza that said in part, \u201cthere is no way for the U.S. to have proper oversight over the billions of dollars that the administration intends to funnel to Gaza when Gaza is being ruled by a terrorist organization.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I know that we have Americans working in Gaza–running schools and helping the poor, but 500? It’s time to destroy the people running Gaza. There will be civilian casualties, but the status quo is unacceptable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
