Hamas has released a chilling video of Edan Alexander, an Israeli-American hostage, who pleads for the intervention of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for his release.
In the video, the 20-year-old, who was taken during the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, addresses his family, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Trump.
The release has sparked intense reactions from both Israel and the U.S. governments.
As ceasefire talks unfold, the U.S. administration pushes to secure the release of hostages, calling it a critical opportunity to end the war and send humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Watch to understand the latest developments in this unfolding crisis.
Hamas is accusing the Trump administration of betrayal after the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander. In a shocking revelation, senior Hamas official Basem Naim claims that Trump’s envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostage’s release. But according to Hamas, the U.S. “threw the deal in the trash” and delivered none of its commitments.

Survivors of Hamas captivity are calling on Prime Minister Netanyahu, President Trump, and envoy Steve Witkoff to act urgently following Edan Alexander's release. In a passionate letter signed by 65 former hostages, they urged leaders not to waste the moment and to halt military action if it means saving the remaining captives. While Trump negotiates new Middle East deals, pressure mounts to prioritize the hostages. With several Americans still held or declared dead, the plea emphasizes cross-border urgency. Netanyahu’s office has not responded to the emotional appeal for a comprehensive deal.

Israeli-American Edan Alexander, who has been released by Hamas after 19 months in captivity has snubbed Israeli PM Natanyahu. This despite Netanyahu hailing his release as a "very emotional moment," reports say Edan has refused a personal meeting with him, citing physical and emotional exhaustion. Edan, was freed on May 12 in what Hamas called a goodwill gesture to Donald Trump, who is currently visiting the region. The release follows complex U.S.-Israel-Qatar-Egypt negotiations and raises new hopes for the remaining hostages and potential peace talks.

Edan Alexander, a 19-year-old American-Israeli soldier and IDF combat medic, was taken hostage by Hamas during the October 7 attack that ignited the Israel-Gaza war. After 583 harrowing days held underground in Gaza, often in brutal conditions, Edan has finally been freed. This video covers the emotional reunion with his family, the covert negotiations said to be led by Trump’s team, and what his release means for the remaining hostages and ongoing ceasefire talks.

President Donald Trump has threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if it continues manufacturing iPhones outside the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned CEO Tim Cook that iPhones sold in America must be built domestically—not in India or elsewhere. The warning follows Cook’s recent statement that most iPhones in the US will soon originate from India. Although finished smartphones currently enjoy tariff exemptions, Trump’s aggressive trade policies may disrupt Apple’s global supply chains and cost the company nearly $900 million this quarter alone.

A fifth round of Iran-U.S. nuclear talks wrapped up in Rome with minimal progress, as mediated by Oman. Iran’s Foreign Minister shared a photo with Oman’s FM, signaling diplomatic efforts despite rising tension. U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff departed early, while technical discussions continued. Talks aim to restrict Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for lifting U.S. sanctions, but key issues remain—especially uranium enrichment. Iran vows to continue enrichment regardless of a deal. With no sixth round scheduled, the stalemate deepens, raising fears of escalation as Trump threatens military action.

President Donald Trump has unveiled a futuristic missile defense project named the ‘Golden Dome,’ inspired by Israel’s Iron Dome but designed for space warfare. With General Michael Guetlein of the US Space Force leading the initiative, the Golden Dome aims to use thousands of satellites to intercept threats. But can it defend against Russia’s Tsar Bomba—the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated? With only 2.4 miles separating the two countries at their closest point, the stakes are sky-high. Experts say ambition meets harsh reality in this high-tech showdown.

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, “We nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.” Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu erupted in fury following the brutal killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., condemning the attack as an act of terrorism and drawing chilling parallels to the October 7 Hamas assault on Israel. Netanyahu said the targeted shooting — carried out by a suspect who shouted “Free Palestine” and claimed he acted “for Gaza” — was not an isolated incident but part of a growing wave of global antisemitic violence.

France and Saudi Arabia are working behind the scenes on a plan to disarm Hamas and transition it into a purely political entity. Saudi officials have reportedly engaged Hamas leadership, while France’s direct role remains murky. The initiative could allow Hamas to retain limited political influence in future Palestinian governance to encourage disarmament. Tensions are rising between Israeli PM Netanyahu and French President Macron, as France co-chairs a UN conference on Palestinian recognition. Macron has also condemned Israel’s Gaza policy and hinted at EU sanctions amid rising Western criticism.

Iran has issued a grave warning to Israel, vowing a devastating retaliation for any strike on its nuclear facilities. The IRGC declared Israel too small and exposed to survive a major response. Following a U.S. intel leak suggesting Israeli strike plans, Iran called on the UN and IAEA to condemn the threats. Tehran accused Netanyahu of provoking conflict to dodge ICC scrutiny and derail diplomacy. Iran warns that failure to act will force it to defend its nuclear assets unilaterally.

Iran and the United States have launched a fifth round of nuclear talks in Rome as Tehran’s enrichment efforts push the standoff to a breaking point. Iran insists on continuing uranium enrichment within its borders, while the US demands a complete halt in return for sanctions relief. Mediated by Oman, the negotiations face mounting regional tensions, with threats from Israel and internal unrest in Iran. The urgency is underscored by reports suggesting Iran is just a week away from having weapons-grade uranium capacity.
