Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to meet with US families on Tuesday whose loved ones were taken hostage by Hamas. This meeting is part of the ongoing negotiations for the release of remaining hostages and a ceasefire in Israel's conflict in Gaza.

The meeting, which will be the second of its kind, is set to take place in the afternoon and will be closed to the press, as per an advisory from her office. The families have been deeply affected by Hamas' attack on Israel that occurred on October 7 last year.
