Mr. Biden said that extensive U.S. diplomacy, and mediation by regional players such as Qatar and Egypt, helped bring about Friday’s hostage release.
“It’s only a start, but so far it’s gone well,” Mr. Biden said at a hastily arranged press conference from Nantucket, where he celebrated Thanksgiving.
“Today’s releases are the start of a process. We expect more hostages to be released tomorrow, and more the day after, and more the day after that.”
Hamas has been holding about 240 hostages since Oct. 7, when it launched a brutal terrorist assault on Israel that killed more than 1,200 people in Israel.
Hamas released 24 hostages on Friday, including 13 Israelis, 10 people from Thailand and one from the Philippines. The freed Israeli prisoners ranged in age from 2 to 85.
Israel and Hamas agreed earlier this week to pause fighting in Gaza to allow for the hostages’ release, while Israel also agreed to free more than a hundred Palestinian prisoners as part of the exchange.
