Biden waived sanctions on Iran instead of pressuring for release of American hostages by Hamas

Representative Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) appeared for an interview on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria, in which he blasted President Joe Biden for waiving sanctions on Iran when he could have used them to get American hostages held by Hamas released.

Iran is Hamas's main financier and enabler, and Biden recently freed billions in frozen assets which many have pinpointed as a contributing factor that led to Hamas attacking Israel on Oct. 7.

During the interview, guest host Jackie DeAngelis said, "We don’t know the behind-the-scenes conversations that have been going on. So, I do understand that. But having said that, for over six weeks, you would expect that this president would be fighting a little harder to get Americans back on our soil."

Gimenez responded by saying, "Yeah, and instead of fighting to get Americans back, what’s this president do? Just recently, he gave the okay for Iraq to buy $10 billion worth of energy from Iran, $10 billion. And so, look, the United States has at least economic — it could put economic pressure on Hamas’ major benefactor, Iran, and start to starve them of the cash that they need to sustain Hamas and Hezbollah and all of those other terrorist activities, but they refuse to do that."

Gimenez went on to say, "This president, all he shows is weakness. And, frankly, I have no faith in his ability to free those American hostages. Let’s see what happens in the future."

With Biden at the helm, the world is more dangerous, and Americans can't rely on the might of the most powerful nation on earth to rescue them should they be captured by opportunistic terrorists.
