American hostage could be released Sunday: Jake Sullivan
One American hostage could be released from Gaza on Sunday as part of a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told ABC "This Week."
"This first set of hostages, 50 hostages over four days, is women and children -- and three Americans [are] in that category, two women and one child," Sullivan told "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "We have reason to believe one of those Americans will be released today."
Still, Sullivan cautioned, "Until we actually see her safe and sound ... we cannot have 100% certainty that it will happen. So we're going to watch this hour by hour and hopefully have a moment of joy where one of the Americans is safely out and ultimately reunited with her family. That's what we are waiting for as we speak."
