Hamas Releases Its Last American Hostage

Hamas has released its last American hostage, Edan Alexander, who holds dual citizenship in Israel and the United States. He had spent 584 days in captivity.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed late Sunday evening via social media that Hamas had agreed to release Alexander, describing the move as "a gesture of goodwill towards the United States." It is noteworthy that 20-year-old soldier Edan Alexander was kidnapped from a military base during Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
