National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that nine Americans and one green card holder were still unaccounted for following the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
In an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sullivan said U.S. officials did not know whether those 10 people were still alive, but that “active, intensive negotiations” were underway to secure the release of all hostages.
“We currently have nine Americans who are missing, one green-card holder who is missing. We don’t know the status — whether they are alive or whether they have passed away — but we are looking to get the safe recovery of all of those individuals,” Sullivan told CNN’s Dana Bash.

How many missing US citizens in Palestine? We have people on both side of this massacre.
Yet nothing is done about Israel’s rampage even though we know it’s killing hostages.
Israeli’s revenge is more important than the lives of civilians.
They are sending a message that there is no limit to the amount of children they’re willing to kill and there isn’t anyone who can stop them.
And people wonder why their enemies resort to asymmetric warfare…
It’s been asymmetric warfare for many years, but Israel usually just remained on the defensive.
Yeah, just keep ‘looking.’
The bombs shall find them! /s
Propaganda is great♡ /s. You are hereby allowed one free genocide /not. Maybe US should help erradicate dirty muslims a bit more actively, idf needs help to meet some deadlines /s, cry, disgust. US&friends are displacing natives again, new immigrant wave incoming. Isreals get two houses each…
This reads like an AI wrote it.
Israel probably trying to hide friendly fire. There’s no way Hamas wouldn’t have already announced they have Americans as a bargaining chip.
Don’t they have Americans either way? Or were they released? Either way it wouldn’t really do much as a bargaining chip (no more than having hostages in general, anyway); America has never prioritized its civilians over Israeli interests (see: Shireen Abu Aqleh).
If there ever was a case to demonstrate the utter brutality the IDF are willing to inflict on Palestinians, it would be Abu Aqleh.
For those who don’t know, she was a journalist for Al Jazeera reporting on IDF sieges when her team were fired upon. She was fatally wounded. The IDF blamed it on Palestinian militants and only admitted to “accidentally” killing her when multiple reports contradicted their narrative. It was further found that the site was an ambush because there were no militants in the vicinity. She was wearing a blue vest with PRESS written on it alongside her team.
To further reinforce this murder, Israeli forces continued to disrupt funeral proceedings, beating funeral attendees and trampling hospital patients.
Say what you will about Al Jazeera but they’re still journalists on the ground reporting on this violence which makes them prime targets for fascist governments.
Two Americans were released just before aid trucks started coming in - can’t help but think that was connected.
