"There was no other way for this war to end than with a hostage deal, and I'm deeply satisfied this day has come, finally come for the sake of the people of Israel and the families waiting in agony," Biden said Wednesday."And for the sake of the innocent people in Gaza who suffered unimaginable devastation because of the war. The Palestinian people have gone through hell. Too many innocent people have died. Too many communities have been destroyed.
Edan was 19 when he was taken into captivity, and now he's 21. He served in an elite Israeli infantry unit when he was taken Oct. 7, 2023. He's a marathon runner. Do you think or do you hope that all that is helping him as he is pushed to his physical and emotional limits right now?
