NANTUCKET, Mass. (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the leaders of Qatar and Egypt on Wednesday in the aftermath of a deal to secure the release of dozens of hostages held by Hamas, the White House said.
Biden is vacationing with his family on the Massachusetts island of Nantucket for Thanksgiving.
