Joe Biden speaks to families of 14 Americans missing after Hamas attack: White House

WASHINGTON

: US President Joe Biden has spoken to the families of 14 Americans missing after Palestinian militant group Hamas attacked Israel six days ago, taking dozens of hostages and triggering a bloody conflict, the White House said Friday.
At least 27 Americans are dead and others were kidnapped by Hamas, but the White House has not said exactly how many of the 14 people reported missing are among the hostages.
An estimated 150 Israelis, foreigners and dual-nationals were taken hostage during Saturday's attack on Israel and taken to Gaza.
