National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday that he is "hopeful" that four-year-old Israeli-American hostage Abigail Idan will be released at some point, but would not specify the timing of such release. "We are now hopeful that Abigail will be released reunited with her family," Sullivan said. "She turned four just two days ago. She has been through hell. She had her parents killed right in front of her and has been held hostage for the last several weeks. |

Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said Sunday that a pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas could be extended if the militant group releases more hostages than was agreed upon days earlier in a deal in which a total of 50 people are expected to be released. |

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said 10 American hostages remain in Gaza as of Sunday, and that three of them qualify for release under the latest deal because they are women and children as anticipation builds for more hostages to be freed this weekend. |

CBS's Margaret Brennan asked Sullivan about President Biden's response to a question on some Democrats' calls to put conditions on military aid to Israel, where he said it was a "worthwhile thought." Sullivan clarified Biden's comments, explaining that Biden emphasized how his own diplomacy helped secure the hostage deal and the pause in fighting. |

Qatar's prime minister said Sunday that the location of the Hamas leader believed to have planned the Oct. 7 attack in Israel is currently unknown, saying that information was likely only known by those close to him. |

"Look, I think that any time there's return of hostages, that's incredibly helpful. And President Biden and his administration has played a role in it, so they deserve credit," Christie said on CNN's "State of the Union." "But, also, the terms of this release are really lopsided towards Hamas, as you know, three to one, in terms of hostage release and this pause that's going on as well." |

"At least one American will be released today. I cannot confirm who it will be, or that it will absolutely happen because until we see that American out of Gaza, in safety and ultimately in the hands of their loved ones, we won't have full confirmation," Sullivan told CBS's Margaret Brennan on Sunday's "Face the Nation." |

"This idea of people just doing math and adding up numbers, that's not the way voters vote," in an interview Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "And, so, I would say to everybody out there: Let's let the campaign move forward." |
