Hamas to Release American-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Today
- Hamas announced it will release American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander on Monday in Gaza after holding him for more than 19 months since the October 7, 2023 attack.
- The release follows indirect negotiations involving the US, Qatar, and Egypt, with Israel agreeing only to create a safe corridor without committing to a ceasefire or prisoner exchange.
- The conflict has resulted in over 52,800 Palestinian deaths and displaced 90% of Gaza's population, while 59 hostages, including Alexander, remain captive amid ongoing Israeli military operations.
- US President Donald Trump described the planned release as a positive gesture aimed at supporting the United States and the mediators’ efforts, expressing hope that it will lead to the return of all surviving hostages and help establish a ceasefire.
- Israel plans to intensify its Gaza offensive but will delay escalation until after Trump's Middle East visit, while the release could prompt renewed talks toward a broader ceasefire agreement.
