Hamas Releases Video of Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Pleading for Freedom
The armed wing of Hamas has released a video featuring Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, taken during the October 7, 2023, attack. In the video, the 19-year-old calls on U.S. President Donald Trump not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessor, Joe Biden, and urges Israelis to pressure their government for his release and that of others still held in Gaza. This serves as evidence that hostages are still alive amid ongoing negotiation discussions.
