Original Note:
The 500 figure comes from the amount of American citizens currently trapped in Gaza. The reason they’re trapped is due to the closure of the Rafah crossing. The border gate is not operational reportedly due to Israeli and Egyptian policy. https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattnovak/2023/10/31/viral-claim-hamas-holding-500-americans-hostages-in-gaza-isnt-true/?sh=3baa41af6c8b
