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.

Hamas has released Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old U.S.-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the October 2023 Tel Aviv attack, marking the return of the last known living American hostage. His release comes ahead of former President Donald Trump’s visit to the Middle East, signaling possible ceasefire negotiations. Trump’s envoy praised the gesture and urged Hamas to release the bodies of four other Americans. The move, facilitated by Qatar and Egypt, is seen as a step toward peace in a conflict that has left over 52,800 Palestinians dead since Israel’s counteroffensive began.

Conflicting reports emerged as the IDF reportedly scaled down certain operations in Gaza to support the release of American hostage Edan Alexander. While no formal ceasefire has been declared, Israeli media confirms that some military activity is being limited to avoid disrupting the handover process. IDF troops are still engaged in combat, particularly in Gaza City’s Shejaiya. The developments come amid heightened global scrutiny and diplomatic pressure surrounding hostage negotiations and ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.

Israel has launched a major airstrike on Yemen’s Hudaydah port, escalating the war against Iran-backed Houthis. The port, a critical lifeline for over 20 million Yemenis, saw its cranes and fuel tanks destroyed—threatening food, medicine, and aid distribution. Aid agencies warn the attack may double famine risk. Hudaydah generates over $1B for the Houthi war machine, and the strike signals an aggressive effort to Cripple their economy. As infrastructure collapses, humanitarian fallout is mounting. WFP, UNICEF, and WHO warn operations could halt without emergency fuel and access.
