Biden says American citizens will leave Gaza through Rafah border crossing

Biden says American citizens will leave Gaza through Rafah border crossing

President Biden on Wednesday said the U.S. has secured safe passage for wounded Palestinians and for foreign nationals to exit Gaza for Egypt. 

‘We expect American citizens to exit today, and we expect to see more depart over the coming days,’ Biden wrote in a post on X. ‘We won’t let up working to get Americans out of Gaza.’ 

State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller later said during a press briefing that there are ‘around 400 Americans in Gaza with whom we are in communication, who have expressed a desire to leave’ and that there are ‘a number of American citizens who have crossed through Rafah and are in Egypt today.’

Egypt, Israel and Hamas earlier came to an agreement allowing limited evacuations out of Gaza and into Egypt through the Rafah crossing after Qatar mediated talks.

The deal allows for foreign passport holders and some critically injured Gaza residents to evacuate, though no timeline has been set for how long the crossing will remain open, a source briefed on the deal told Reuters. 

Dozens of foreign passport holders reportedly could be seen entering the crossing Wednesday morning in evidence of the deal. 

The negotiations came as the Israeli military has been carrying out the second stage of its war against Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces have greatly expanded ground operations in Gaza, clearing Hamas terrorists out of their fortified positions and tunnels. 

Military officials have warned that the campaign will be a long and difficult affair. So far, at least 16 Israeli soldiers have been killed in the fighting.

Biden’s announcement comes about a day after National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby accused Hamas terrorists of ‘putting up obstacles’ to prevent Americans from leaving Gaza. 

‘Why have Americans and foreign nationals still been unable to get out of Gaza, even though aid trucks have been going in?’ a reporter asked Kirby during Tuesday’s White House press briefing. ‘Beyond putting blame on Hamas, what more can you say about what’s going on here and what the progress is?’ 

‘I mean, they are putting obstacles up to allow us to get folks out,’ Kirby said.
