An emotional Jake Sullivan says there is ‘reason to believe’ Hamas will release at least 1 in 10 Americans on Sunday

The absence of any Americans among the hostages released by the terrorist organization Hamas has drawn criticism, but a senior official in the Biden regime expressed hope that will soon change.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan appeared on the Sunday morning shows where he excitedly predicted that there are “reasons to believe” that Hamas will release “at least” one American captive on Sunday, the first in ‘four-day ceasefire in Gaza that his boss, President Joe Biden has taken credit for engineering: Sullivan said 10 American hostages remain in Gaza on Sunday.

“The initial hostage deal involves the release of women and children and there are three Americans in that category: two women and a small child. And we have reason to believe that one of those Americans will be released today ” Sullivan told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker during an appearance on the NBC flagship Sunday morning.

“But until we see her out, safe from Gaza, in the hands of the authorities and ultimately in the hands of her family, we won’t be sure,” Sullivan added. “But we have reason to believe there will be a launch today.”

NBC News also reported that a second White House official has “reason to believe” that an American will be among Sunday’s launches, which would be a PR win that Biden can hang his hat on after to have been he hit by former President Donald J. Trump and others over the lack of Americans who have been released after being kidnapped during last month’s sneak attack on Israel that left more than 1,300 dead, many of whom were massacred with primitive savagery.

“Has anyone noticed that Hamas has returned people from other countries but, so far, has not returned any American hostages? There is only one reason for that, NO RESPECT TO OUR COUNTRY OR OUR LEADERSHIP. This is a America’s very sad and dark period!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.

“Starting today, according to the agreement reached between Israel and Hamas, fighting in Gaza will stop for four days,” Biden said. said in a Friday post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “13 Israeli hostages have been released along with several Thai nationals. And we hope that dozens more, including Americans, will be returned to their families.”

“At least one American will be released today. I cannot confirm who it will be, or that it will happen absolutely because until we see that American out of Gaza, safely and ultimately in the hands of his loved ones, we will not have a complete confirmation,” Sullivan. he said Margaret Brennan on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

“And we have reason to believe that there will be an American launch today, but we’ll wait and see what actually happens. Because, obviously, we’re dealing with a terrorist group here and we can’t immediately trust that we have to verify,” he added.

50 captives are expected to be freed during the four-day ceasefire, a small percentage of the more than 200 who were taken hostage and will be used as bargaining chips to get the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, cancel the military offensive to eliminate the terrorist. threat to Gaza.
