Hamas to Release American-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Today
- Hamas plans to release American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander on Monday amid ongoing conflict in Gaza.
- The release follows Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack that killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, including Alexander.
- Israel's government said it is not conceding prisoner releases or ceasefire in return and only arranged a safe corridor for Alexander's return.
- Israel’s military actions have resulted in the deaths of more than 52,800 Palestinians, led to the displacement of approximately 90% of Gaza’s residents, and caused extensive destruction across the region amid the ongoing conflict.
- Alexander’s release could pave the way for further hostage negotiations and potential ceasefire efforts amid Trump’s planned Middle East visit.
