Carol Lee: Brett McGurk Will Travel to Israel and Other Mideast Countries to Focus on the Release of Hostages

EXCERPT:

LEE: "Brett McGurk, the president's top Middle East advisor, is scheduled to head to the Middle East this week. He'll go to Israel and his mission is to focus on the release of hostages. He's also going to Qatar, which has been key in these negotiations over the release of hostages and they're exploring multiple options, the administration is. And one of those options is securing the release of about 80 women and children who are being held hostage, and in exchange for that, the release of Palestinian women and teenagers that are being held by Israel. It’s one option. There's no guarantee that any of this is going to succeed, but Brett McGurk is going to travel there to try to move this forward.”
