House Republicans turn up heat on Biden to broker expedient release of Hamas hostages, support Israel [Video]

FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans exhorted President Biden to “ensure the expedient release” of U.S. citizens being held hostage by Hamas terrorists and voice Israel’s “inviolable right to self-defense.”

“We write today to express our full support for the State of Israel in its fight against Hamas. Specifically, we urge your administration to do everything in your power to ensure the safe and expedient release of the hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza in the wake of the vicious October 7th attack,” the letter from Rep. Russell Fry, R-S.C., to the White House said.

“Further, we implore the White House to show unwavering support for Israel and to spare no effort to assist the Jewish state in its mission to 1) defeat Hamas and 2) ensure the release of these hostages during this particularly trying time in Israel’s history,” the letter said.

Fry was joined by 15 GOP lawmakers to demand support for Israel.
