President Joe Biden has facilitated the release of over 70 Americans held hostage around the world during his administration through various negotiations and prisoner exchanges. Most recently, in the context of the 2023 Gaza war ceasefire agreement and subsequent deals, 20 living Israeli hostages were released after more than two years in captivity. Biden's administration worked tirelessly to bring hostages home, and he has commended President Donald Trump for helping secure a renewed ceasefire that included the release of these hostages. The total number of Americans released under Biden’s efforts exceeds 70, reflecting multiple hostage release situations globally, not just in Gaza.
