EXCERPT:
TAPPER: "Is rescuing the hostages a priority at all? I mean, Israeli news media, like Haaretz, they say it doesn't seem like it at all. And frankly, Jake, if my kids were being held hostage in Gaza — and, as you know, there are Americans being held hostage in Gaza right now — I'd want you to send in the Navy SEALs. What's the conversation like in the White House about the U.S. conducting any sort of operations in order to save Americans being held hostage in Gaza?" SULLIVAN: "Well, the president has been very clear that he has no higher priority than getting Americans back safe, Americans who are being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza right now." TAPPER: "The Israelis are bombing the crap out of Gaza. I mean, what — it doesn't seem like saving the hostages are a priority at all right now." SULLIVAN: "Well, for President Biden, they are a priority.”
