US-Israeli Hostage Edan’s Family Awaits Hug With Tears, Joy Ahead Of His Hamas Release | WATCH
Relatives of US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, held captive by Hamas, wait with emotion and hope as his release draws near.
His grandmother, Varda Ben Baruch, says they are “very excited, happy” and are ready to hug him as soon as he is freed.
The anticipated release coincides with a high-stakes visit by US President Donald Trump to the region, amid direct ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Hamas.
As the reunion nears, emotions run high among the family and global attention is fixed on Edan's return.
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.

In a bold statement, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Houthi militants have halted their attacks on American ships and interests following a 50-day barrage. Trump asserted that his administration succeeded where others failed, claiming the Houthis no longer intend to target the U.S. He credited his leadership with ending years of hostility and bringing the rebels to the table. Trump emphasized this shift as a significant diplomatic breakthrough, noting that both the Houthis and their backers signaled they want peace with America and will stop offensive actions.

A fresh legal storm is brewing as former President Donald Trump is reportedly set to receive a $400 million Boeing “floating palace” from Qatar. The role of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has come under scrutiny for “green-lighting” the controversial deal, over her previous role as a Lobbyist for the Qatari government. Senate Democrats had earlier flagged her failure to disclose these ties. As negotiations between the U.S. and Qatar continue, and with Trump’s upcoming visit to the Gulf nation, questions over legality, foreign influence, and ethics are intensifying.
