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.

Sullivan made the rounds on the Sunday political news shows as the deal continues to unfold, revealing that the U.S. expects at least one American hostage to be released on Sunday.

The Biden adviser said on ABC’s “This Week” that there are two women, one child and seven men who make up the 10 Americans who remain as hostages taken by Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7.

The three women and children meet the requirements to be released by Hamas under a deal reached by multiple countries, including the U.S., that established a four-day truce that began days earlier, in which a round of Thai, Filipino and Israeli hostages were released starting on Friday.
