Transcript

00:00 The two missing homegrown migrant workers since the October 7 Hamas attacks remain in

00:04 unknown status.

00:05 Nevertheless, they are not alone, given the scores of other Israeli and foreigners abducted

00:10 by Hamas, whose whereabouts or physical condition are completely unknown.

00:15 There are only two things certain about them - either they're dead or alive, and somewhere

00:20 in or even underneath Gaza City, closely guarded by Hamas or the Islamic Jihad or some terrorist

00:26 or militant group somewhere else.

00:29 Again and again, the Biden government is working closely and without let up with the Qatari

00:33 government and other intermediaries to cut a deal with Hamas for the release of all hostages.

00:39 "Regarding the two missing, it's important to say that we are in touch and our heart

00:48 and sympathy are with the families of both those that were murdered, but also of course

00:53 with those that are still missing and we do not know what happened to them yet."
