Former President Donald Trump said Saturday that a lack of U.S. citizens among the hostages freed by the Hamas terrorist group shows “no respect” for America under President Joe Biden.

Israeli forces have confirmed that 17 hostages—13 Israelis and 4 Thai abductees—were released by Hamas on Saturday as part of a second batch of liberated captives, with no Americans among them. Hamas on Friday released 24 hostages, including 13 Israelis, 10 people from Thailand, and one from the Philippines.
