While celebrating the release of the hostages, President Biden added, "We remember all those still being held, renewing our commitment to secure their release."

"We won’t stop until they're home — I have no higher priority," Biden said.

The four-day cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict commenced in Gaza, accompanied by the release of 24 hostages, including citizens of Israel, Thailand, and the Philippines, as reported by AP.

President Biden anticipates the return of more hostages, including "American citizens," in the coming days, saying, "We will not stop until all hostages are released by Hamas."

The Red Cross independently verified the "safe release of 24 hostages" from Gaza, emphasizing its role as a "neutral intermediary" facilitating the transportation of individuals from Gaza to the Rafah border in a tweet.

We are relieved to confirm the safe release of 24 hostages.
We have facilitated this release by transporting them from Gaza to the Rafah border, marking the real-life impact of our role as a neutral intermediary between the parties.
