Yesterday, President Biden met with 4-year-old Abigail Edan, an American girl who was taken hostage by Hamas after both her parents were killed during the October 7th terrorist attack in Israel.
During the meeting, which lasted more than an hour, Abigail played in the Oval Office and crawled under the Resolute desk like the famous picture of John F. Kennedy Jr. as a child.
She also played in the playground of the White House Lawn, while the President discussed our ongoing efforts to release the remaining hostages with her family.
Last year, we secured the release of Abigail, a 4-year-old who was being held by Hamas.
She’s remarkable and recovering from unspeakable trauma.
Our time together yesterday was a reminder of the work we have in front of us to secure the release of all remaining hostages. pic.twitter.com/M7bNHzZxfM
