Hamas has announced the imminent release of Edan Alexander, the last known living American hostage held in Gaza, as part of efforts to secure a ceasefire. The decision comes after negotiations involving U.S. representatives, and it has been framed as a goodwill gesture, particularly towards former President Trump. As the hostage release approaches, Israel continues its military operations, refusing to commit to a ceasefire while maintaining pressure on Hamas. Sources indicate that the release of Alexander is expected to occur soon, amidst ongoing debates about the implications for U.S.-Israel relations and the broader conflict.
