Gaza BREAKING: Hamas Frees U.S.-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander After 19 Months In Captivity | WATCH

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage.

His release comes ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, signaling possible ceasefire negotiations.

Trump’s envoy praised the gesture and urged Hamas to release the bodies of four other Americans.

The move, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, is seen as a step toward peace in a conflict that has left over 52,800 Palestinians dead since Israel’s counteroffensive began.
