Original Note:
The 500 Americans referred to here is not the number kidnapped from Israel by Hamas. However, Hamas is preventing 500 American citizens from being able to leave Gaza. These Americans are therefore considered hostages under federal law. https://x.com/marshablackburn/status/1719468443584405610?s=46&t=iqu43-NszIW5oOM_KqRSpw https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/israel-hamas-gaza-war-latest/card/u-s-says-hamas-won-t-let-hundreds-of-americans-leave-gaza-GuDADCFwBT1FjF88AHgL
