Hamas has released dual US-Israeli national Edan Alexander, a soldier, as a gesture to facilitate ceasefire negotiations amid Israel's blockade of Gaza. The ICRC confirmed their role in the soldier's transfer. This occurrence, following a brief pause in fighting, highlights ongoing diplomatic efforts as Israel faces criticism for its handling of hostage situations. Alexander's return was welcomed by the Israeli government, while concerns remain for other hostages and civilians in Gaza, as articulated by ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric.
Hamas released Edan Alexander as a goodwill gesture towards US President Donald Trump, coinciding with ongoing ceasefire negotiations and Israel's blockade of Gaza.
ICRC President Spoljaric welcomed the release but emphasized the continuation of the hostage nightmare for families of those still in captivity in Gaza.
