Tonight. White House officials say they are hopeful the hostage release will begin tomorrow as planned. ABC senior White House correspondent Selena Wang is traveling with President Biden. And, Selena, it sounds like the president has been personally involved in these negotiations.

That's right, Lindsay. Here in Nantucket over Thanksgiving, President Biden has been working hard to ensure that this deal gets carried through to the end. Senior administration officials have been telling me that President Biden has been very hands on in these negotiations, working the phones, staying in close contact with regional leaders, personally urging the mayor of Qatar to press Hamas to accept this deal and for Israel's prime minister to accept it. Now, officials had initially said that included in this release is expected to be three Americans, two women, and three year old Abigail Idan. But who ends up getting released still remains to be seen, and there are still several Americans unaccounted for and many hostages not included in this release deal. U. S. Officials are saying they will not stop pushing for the release of all of the hostages. Lindsay. Selena.

Thank you.
