The Biden White House has spoken to the family of American hostage Edan Alexander, who was taken captive along with 253 others during the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel, said U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on “Face the Nation” Sunday. “I do think that Hamas is feeling the pressure. They’re feeling the pressure because one of their main partners in crime here, Hezbollah, has now cut a ceasefire deal,” he explained.
“They’re feeling the pressure, of course, because their top leader, Sinwar, has been killed. So, they may be looking anew at the possibility of getting a ceasefire and hostage deal,” Sullivan added.
