US EditionHamas to Release American-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Today
- Hamas is expected to release Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli soldier held captive for over 19 months in Gaza, on Monday 2025-05-19.
- The release comes in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 2023 assault that resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths and the capture of around 250 hostages, with ongoing mediation efforts led by the US, Qatar, and Egypt.
- Israel consented to establish a designated passageway to facilitate Alexander's return but did not agree to a ceasefire or the release of Palestinian prisoners, planning instead to intensify its Gaza assault after President Trump's forthcoming visit to the Middle East.
- Over 52,800 Palestinians have died due to Israel's retaliatory strikes, displacing 90% of Gaza’s population and worsening a humanitarian crisis aggravated by a blockade restricting essential supplies.
- Alexander's release marks a goodwill gesture that could initiate negotiations for a wider ceasefire and the freeing of additional hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
