Getting American hostages out of Israel is of utmost importance and the Biden administration is doing a poor job of coordinating those efforts, said Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y.
"My biggest concern has been evacuating American citizens out of Israel and, obviously, getting any American hostages back," Lawler told Newsmax's "Saturday Report."
"I have hundreds of residents that are currently in Israel that have been trying to get out for the past week and cannot because of the lack of commercial flights available with U.S. air carriers not going into Israel. And so, you know, I was pushing for chartered flights as well as military airplanes to come in and help expedite this process.
"We are not contemplating U.S. boots on the ground for any sort of rescue mission," principal deputy national security adviser Jon Finer said Thursday on MSNBC.
