On Wednesday, CNN's Jake Tapper interviewed several American families whose loved ones remain in captivity. The families gathered in Washington, D.C., to attend a roundtable with the House Foreign Affairs Committee and other meetings.
"The Biden administration, they do more than enough since the first day, but the math shouldn't fool us," Adi Alexander, the father of the captive Israeli soldier, said during the interview.
"He doesn't belong there," the father added. "He belongs with us, with the family."
