American-Israeli families ask Biden to make a deal with Hamas that doesn't include Israel

Families of American-Israeli captives held by Hamas have urged the White House to consider a unilateral deal to secure their release. This option is currently being discussed within the Biden administration, according to five sources familiar with the matter speaking to NBC.

Administration officials have assured the families that they will consider "every option," but sources indicate that a deal with Hamas involving Israel remains the preferred approach.
