President Biden confirmed that Liat Beinin, a rescued Israel-American hostage, is safe after crossing the border from Gaza into Egypt.

"Ihave some very good news to report," Biden told a group of reporters. "Liat Beinin is safe in Egypt, she's crossed the border."

The president added that he has been in contact with Beinin's family.

"I talked with her mother and father," Biden continued. "They're very appreciative, and things are moving well. She'll soon be home with her three children."

"That's all I have to say for now," he added.
