US Arranges Charter Flights for Americans Who Have Been Unable to Leave Israel | EWTN News Nightly

Описание: Americans who haven't been able to evacuate from Israel since the deadly terrorist attacks by Hamas will get some help starting today. The US government is arranging charter flights and passage on ships for US citizens but several US lawmakers question what took the Biden Administration so long to act. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle say getting Americans out of Israel safely should be a top priority of the Biden Administration. Republicans say they're dismayed by the lack of urgency, especially when other countries are already getting their citizens out. They say the administration should have learned its lesson from the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. The State Department says it is planning at least 4 charter flights a day out of Israel to Athens, Greece or Frankfurt, Germany. Thousands of American citizens and their immediate families will not be able to choose where to go. Ships will also sail to Cyprus. The Biden Administration confirms dozens of Americans are being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas forces. Capitol Hill Correspondent, Erik Rosales reports.
