The issue has come up in phone calls between Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, as well as senior White House officials.A U.S. official said the Biden administration received the video on Monday. "We've been in touch with the family since that time and the FBI and Hostage Recovery Fusion Cell are actively examining the video," the U.S. official said.
A source familiar with the matter said that one of the reasons for the statement was the feeling in Doha that Netanyahu was performing "political spin" on the back of Qatar for domestic political reasons. "Seeing the video of Hersh today is overwhelming. We are relieved to see him alive but we are also concerned about his health and wellbeing as well as that of all the other hostages and all of those suffering in this region," his parents Rachel and Jon said.
