Hamas releases Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander
ai generated text
Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old American, was captured by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, and held as a hostage for 18 months. On Monday, Israel paused its military operations in Gaza to facilitate his transfer, and he was released by Hamas. He was reunited with his family, with Israeli authorities releasing a video and photos of the emotional reunion.
This was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the diplomatic pressure applied by President Trump. This is a winning combination.
Israel has not committed to a ceasefire of any kind or the release of terrorists but only to a safe corridor that will allow for the release of Edan.
I spoke with President Trump today. He told me 'I am committed to Israel. I am committed to continuing to work with you in close cooperation' –- in order to achieve all of our war objectives: Releasing all of the hostages, and defeating Hamas.
We affirm that serious and responsible negotiations yield results in the release of prisoners, while the continuation of aggression prolongs their suffering and may kill them.
We urge President Trump's administration to continue its efforts to end this brutal war.
The [Ezzedine] Al-Qassam Brigades have just released the Zionist soldier and American citizen Edan Alexander, following contacts with the US administration, as part of the efforts undertaken by mediators to achieve a ceasefire.
They should stop the war and bring all the hostages back home in a deal, not military pressure.
Everyone is afraid that the shelling might resume suddenly after the prisoner is released.
