White House said yesterday “less than 10” Americans were hostages

Blackburn’s office tells me they consider the 500 Americans who admin says are trapped in Gaza (the “400 American citizens and their families” Blinken referenced) to be hostages

Why? They cite 18 U.S. Code § 1203 https://t.co/0lygKKUkRE
