The Biden administration was poised to send about a dozen detainees at Guantanamo Bay to Oman, but it halted the operation due to security questions after Hamas attacked Israel.
None of the prisoners had been charged with crimes and had been cleared for transfer by national security panels, but the operation was abruptly called off as a military cargo plane was ready for airlift.
Finding countries willing to resettle the cleared detainees at Guantanamo has been a challenge for the Biden administration, requiring diplomacy, intelligence community participation, and notification to Congress.
