Israel-Hamas war latest news: Biden 'heartbroken' by death of US hostage in Gaza

US President Joe Biden has said that he is “heartbroken” over the death of Gadi Haggai, a US citizen who is reported to have died in Hamas captivity.

The death of Mr Haggai, 73, was announced yesterday by a group representing hostages’ families. It is not immediately clear how he died.

“Jill (Biden) and I are heartbroken by the news that American Gadi Haggai is now believed to have been killed by Hamas on October 7. We continue to pray for the well-being and safe return of his wife, Judy,” Mr Biden said in a statement released by the White House overnight.

Judith Weinstein, the wife of Mr Haggai, is still being held hostage in Gaza, according to Israeli media outlet Haaretz. Hamas has warned that “time is running out” for the remaining hostages in Gaza.

A statement from the family read: “We mourn the loss of our father and grandfather, and we continue to hope and pray that his body will be returned to us and that Judi is still alive and we will be reunited soon.”
