Harris to meet with American hostages' families on Tuesday
Vice President Kamala Harris will meet with the families of American hostages being held by Hamas on Tuesday afternoon, according to the White House.
Harris will "express her continued support for these families and the hostages and will provide an update on our administration’s efforts to broker a deal to secure the release of all hostages and an immediate cease-fire," a White House official said.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan met with the families on Monday.
The families told Sullivan they were appreciative of the Biden administration’s support, but also disappointed that a deal still hadn’t been reached to bring home the remaining hostages, which include eight American-Israeli citizens, the Hostages Families Forum Headquarters said.
The families said they told Sullivan they’re worried their loved ones will be the next to die if the negotiators don’t reach a deal soon.
