US EditionHamas says it released Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander
- Hamas released Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander on Monday after holding him hostage in Gaza for over 19 months since the October 7, 2023 attack.
- Alexander was abducted during Hamas' cross-border attack that ignited the ongoing war, with his release coming amid complex negotiations involving mediators Qatar and Egypt and U.S. Envoys.
- Israel agreed only to provide a safe corridor for Alexander’s return, refusing ceasefire or prisoner exchanges, while planning to escalate its offensive after U.S. President Trump’s Middle East visit.
- The conflict has killed about 1,200 Israelis and over 52,800 Palestinians, with 90% of Gaza’s population displaced; Trump called the release a 'step taken in good faith' towards ending the war.
- Alexander’s family and a coalition representing relatives of hostages expressed relief at his release, calling for ongoing efforts to secure the freedom of the remaining 59 captives and hoping this development will help bring the conflict to a close.
