- The Biden administration’s evacuations of Americans stuck in Israel came too late for many who were stranded and left to their own devices to escape the war zone, several U.S. citizens in the situation told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
- The Biden administration waited nearly one week after Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel to begin evacuating.
- “It’s embarrassing to be an American when all of these other nations are taking people out,” Kenneth Berg, who was evacuated by Republican Florida Rep. Cory Mills, told the DCNF.
Americans that were stuck in Israel days into Hamas’ attack were left to fend for themselves in a war zone as the Biden administration urged them to rely on booking their own commercial airline trips, several of them told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The Biden administration began evacuations of Americans Oct. 13 after Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel Oct. 7 and killed, kidnapped and raped civilians, including American citizens. The delayed response left many left to their own devices as American commercial airlines cancelled flights and as thousands of rockets rained down near the airport, several U.S. citizens that fled on their own told the DCNF.
A U.S. citizen, who asked to be referred to as Sarah, along with her husband and two other friends, were desperately trying to leave Israel after Hamas’ attack, but the flights they booked kept getting cancelled. The State Department, at the time, had no plan to help them and instructed them to book their own flights and to look at land border crossings to Jordan and Egypt, according to emails Sarah received and were obtained by the DCNF.
