Hamas withholding US hostages is ‘one small example’ of Biden’s weakness on the world stage: Sen. Tom Cotton

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., joined ‘Fox News Sunday’ to discuss the Biden administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war as a temporary cease-fire is established.

An American hostage was among 14 Israeli hostages and three foreign hostages who were released Sunday by Hamas after being taken from Israel nearly three months ago.

Abigail Edan, 4, a dual Israeli-American citizen, was confirmed to have been released Sunday.

Edan was taken hostage on Oct. 7 after Hamas terrorists murdered her parents.

The Red Cross has informed the Israeli Defense Forces that they have taken custody of 14 Israeli hostages and three foreign hostages released by Hamas on Sunday, according to the IDF.
