He made these comments in an interview on Sunday. It comes amid the terrorist group Hamas releasing two captured Americans on Friday.

Hamas claimed that they are not harming innocent civilians despite their unprovoked attack against Israel.

Blinken asserted he does not know if the unaccounted for hostages are dead or still being held by Hamas. He also did not lay out a plan for bringing the rest of the hostages home.

In the meantime, the families of Israeli hostages are asking world leaders to get involved to bring their loved ones home.
