"We are working on this": Baiden does not reject that the US Army may go into gas

US National Security Council, John Kirby, stressed that there are no plans or intentions to exhibit US troops to participate in the struggle between Israel and Hamas. Washington does not rule out that US troops can be involved to release hostages in gas. This was stated by a representative of the National Security Council John Kirby in Fox News Sunday. He also noted that there are no such plans.

When asked by the leading Fox News Sunday, whether a US National Security Council can "completely exclude" the possibility of the presence of some US forces in gas, Kirby replied that he could neither exclude nor exclude anything when it comes to returning hostilities. "We have no plans or intentions to expose US troops to participate in this struggle between Israel and Hamas," Kirby said.

Hamas is expected to be held hostage more than 100 people, including civilians, Israeli soldiers and an unknown number of Americans. The State Department stated on Saturday that 15 American citizens remain missing. US officials are not sure that they are all hostage. When asked by the presenter, whether the United States would expose troops to return Americans, Kirby pointed to the uncertainty about the details of their habitat and the number of hostages.

"We are actively trying to find out exactly where they are, I mean we don't even know how much. We saw a small handful, we know that they can be more than we think they can be in different groups ", - Kirby explained. He also noted that the United States should be careful in public discussions to hostage.

"We are working on this just an hour, but again, we can develop specific policy options, we need a lot more contextual information than available for use right now, and we are working on it," Kirby added. Earlier, the White House reported that 11 Americans were killed in Hamas attack. John Kirby almost wept, commenting on the war in Israel. On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel from the Gaza Sector.
