White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the White House meeting with Abigail and her family was ‘a reminder of the work still to do’
People walk past an image of 4-year-old Abigail Edan, a hostage held by Hamas, projected onto a building in Tel Aviv, on Nov 26, 2023.U.S. President Joe Biden met Wednesday with Abigail Edan, the 4-year-old American girl who was held hostage in Gaza for several weeks at the start of the war.
“It was also a reminder in getting to see her that there are still Americans and others being held hostage by Hamas,” said Sullivan, who attended Biden’s meeting with the girl and her family. “And we’re working day in, day out to ensure all of them also are able to get safely home to their loved ones."
“Abigail and her two siblings had their parents killed on October 7th, so they’re still living with the tragedy and the trauma of that. Abigail, of course, is living with the trauma of being held captive for many weeks,” Sullivan said. “But this was a moment of joy as well, because she was able to be returned safely to her family."
