This week, two groups of captives were released by Hamas, but none of them were U.S. citizens.
Trump, known for effectively securing the release of Americans in similar situations, condemned Joe Biden and ‘feeble’ American leadership for their failure to bring these individuals back home.
In a familiar manner, the liberal media is largely overlooking Biden’s role in this matter.
FOX News reports:
Trump criticizes American leaders as no US citizens are among Hamas hostages recently released
Former President Trump criticized American leaders for the absence of U.S. citizens among those released in the past few days by Hamas.
During the late hours of Saturday, Hamas released 17 captives, followed by another 24 on Friday, however, none of them were U.S. citizens, including 4-year-old Avigail Idan, one of the ten Americans currently held. The release of captives coincides with a four-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office stated that 50 captives held by Hamas are expected to be freed within the four-day timeframe. In return, Israel will release 150 imprisoned Palestinians.
“Has anyone noticed that Hamas has repatriated individuals from other nations but has yet to return a single American hostage? The reason is clear – NO RESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY OR OUR LEADERSHIP. This is a very sorrowful and bleak period for America!” Trump wrote on Truth Social this Saturday.
Two American nationals held captive by Hamas were released on October 20, however, no U.S. citizen has been freed since then.
We are all aware of the difference in coverage if this were happening during Trump’s presidency.
If 13 American hostages had been taken during the Trump administration, it would dominate 24/7 cable news.
If Trump had overseen a catastrophic withdrawal from the Afghan War resulting in the loss of billions in military equipment and the deaths of 13 Americans, the media would never let us forget it.…

The complete text of that tweet is:
If 13 American hostages had been taken during the Trump administration, it would dominate 24/7 cable news.
If Trump had overseen a disastrous withdrawal from the Afghan War leading to the loss of billions in military equipment & the deaths of 13 Americans, the media would never let that be forgotten.
If Donald Trump had risked inciting World War III by sending 43 “aid packages” to a country where his son had engaged in illicit business, the news media would be raising significant concerns.
This highlights the importance of not relying on the American media for impartial or accurate political news reporting. It’s essential to seek alternative sources and engage in independent journalism.
The media would relentlessly criticize Trump over this every day. CNN would have a continuous count on screen showing the number of days the hostages were held captive. Their interest lies not in people, but in how they can be exploited for their political agenda.
