U.S. Expects American Hostage Release in Israel-Hamas Truce Deal
-
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the U.S. expects at least one American hostage held by Hamas to be released Sunday.
-
Fifty hostages are expected to be released during the 4-day truce between Israel and Hamas. So far no Americans freed.
-
About 240 people were taken hostage by Hamas when the group launched an attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
-
Sullivan said the U.S. has reason to believe there will be an American released Sunday but must verify.
-
It's up to Hamas whether the hostage deal gets extended. Israel has agreed to continue the pause in fighting for every day 10 more hostages are released.
