Hamas has confirmed plans to release Edan Alexander, the final American hostage in Gaza, as part of negotiations for a ceasefire and aid delivery. This statement coincides with impending diplomatic events as President Trump heads to the Middle East. Alexander, an Israeli-American soldier, was captured during the October conflict. Hamas expressed a willingness to engage in negotiations for a long-term truce, which would involve not only stopping the hostilities but also potential exchanges of prisoners and establishing governance in Gaza. The family and U.S. officials have remained involved throughout this process.
Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayyah stated that the group is in contact with the U.S. administration, indicating readiness for intensive negotiations to end the war and facilitate a hostage exchange.
Yael Alexander, mother of Edan, mentioned that mentions of her son by Trump and his envoy make them feel that he hasn't been forgotten.
