Hamas to Release Israeli-American Hostage Edan Alexander

Hamas said Sunday it will release Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, who has been held for over 550 days, as part of an effort to reach a ceasefire deal and resume humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.

Alexander's release is also thought to be a gesture by Hamas to President Trump as he visits the Middle East later this week, sources said.

White House envoy Steve Witkoff spoke to Alexander's parents and notified them of Hamas' plans, the source said. Witkoff is expected to travel to Israel on Monday ahead of his release.

Alexander is the only living American citizen among the 59 hostages being held by Hamas. Only 21 of those hostages are known to still be alive, and the condition of three others isn't clear.

Four of the dead hostages are American citizens: Itay Chen, Gadi Haggai, Judi Haggai and Omer Nuetra.
