President Joe Biden has unequivocally stated that Hamas will face retribution for the killing of the American hostage. Biden expressed his profound devastation and outrage over the news, highlighting the gravity of the situation.
According to PulseNets, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, spokesperson for the IDF, reported that Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages were mercilessly executed by Hamas terrorists just before they were to be rescued. Fox News later confirmed that Goldberg-Polin’s body, along with the other victims, was discovered in the tunnels beneath Rafah.
Goldberg-Polin’s death ignited a global outcry, with his family and friends tirelessly campaigning for his release and meeting with numerous world leaders, including members of the Biden administration.
In his statement, the president vowed that Hamas leaders will face justice for their heinous acts. He emphasized that his administration is committed to working relentlessly to negotiate the release of the remaining hostages. “It is as tragic as it is reprehensible,” Biden remarked. “Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes. And we will keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages.”
