Hamas has announced the impending release of Edan Alexander, an Israeli-American soldier kidnapped on October 7, 2023. Scheduled for Tuesday, this release is seen as a gesture towards American interests without conditions for reciprocal actions. US President Donald Trump is simultaneously visiting the Middle East, although Israel isn't on his agenda. Israel is preparing for the possibility of Alexander's release while continuing its military operations in Gaza, emphasizing that there will be no ceasefire but negotiations may proceed under ongoing combat.
Donald Trump begins a trip to the Middle East on the same day Edan Alexander is set to be released, although there are no stops in Israel planned.
Hamas intends to release soldier Edan Alexander as a gesture to Americans, with no conditions for exchange, according to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's office.
