Administration of Joseph R. Biden, Jr., 2023

The President. I've got some very good news to report: Liat Beinin is safe in Egypt. She's crossed the border.

I talked with her mother and father, and 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 right now.

Q. Can you give us a sense of other Americans who might be leaving soon, Mr. President?

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Thanks, everybody. Thanks, everyone.
