Edan Alexander, the last known American hostage held by Hamas, was released on October 7 after being captured during terror attacks. His handover to the Red Cross marked a significant moment amidst ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Alexander's mother, Yael, insisted on the urgency of securing the release of other hostages, stressing that 58 remain, of which only 20 are believed to be alive. President Trump viewed this handover as a positive development towards resolving the crisis, supported by mediators from Qatar and Egypt.
"This is the first handover of any hostage from the Gaza Strip since March."
"We cannot rest and we cannot forget, everyone needs to come home," Yael Alexander said, urging for further efforts to secure remaining hostages.
