Joy erupted in Tenafly, New Jersey and Tel Aviv as Edan Alexander, the last living U.S.-Israeli hostage in Gaza, was released by Hamas after over 19 months in captivity.
The 21-year-old soldier, captured during Hamasâ October 2023 assault, was handed to the Red Cross.
His release comes just before U.S. President Donald Trumpâs regional visit and amid direct Hamas-Washington ceasefire talks.
Emotional scenes played out at Hostages Square and in his hometown, where supporters cheered the long-awaited announcement.
Hopes for peace reignite with this symbolic humanitarian breakthrough.
An Israeli attack near a U.S.-backed aid distribution site in Gaza's Rafah killed at least 31 people, according to local health authorities. As ceasefire negotiations falter, blame is being traded between Hamas and Israel over the tragic incident. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which operates the site, denies any casualties. Meanwhile, Israel's military claims no knowledge of civilian injuries from its fire. The deadly strike comes amid failed truce talks, escalating violence, and accusations that aid is being weaponized. Over 54,000 Palestinians have died in Israel's ongoing Gaza offensive.

A major breakthroughâor a dead end? Hamas says itâs willing to release 28 hostages (10 alive, 18 deceased) as part of a U.S.-backed ceasefire proposal. But the deal comes with serious conditions: an end to the war and full Israeli troop withdrawal from Gazaâterms Israel has rejected.

Public outrage is erupting in Israel over what protesters call â600 days of failureâ by Prime Minister Netanyahu to bring back hostages held by Hamas since October 7, 2023. Over 3,000 people rallied in Tel Aviv, storming Likud HQ and demanding resignations. Clashes with police led to dozens of arrests. Demonstrators blasted the governmentâs hostage negotiation strategy, projecting a Qatari flag on Likud HQ to protest Hamas ties. Silent vigils and youth marches continue, as 57 hostages remain in captivity.

A wave of ballistic missile attacks launched by Yemenâs Houthi rebels rocked Israel on Tuesday, forcing the country to shut down Tel Avivâs Ben Gurion Airport as a precaution. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed intercepting two medium-range missiles after sirens wailed across several regions. Despite Israel's interception claims, Palestinian sources reported missile fragments landing in southern Hebron. The Houthis say the attacks are in retaliation for Israelâs ongoing military operations in Gaza. With over 40 launches since hostilities resumed, the renewed barrage underscores escalating regional tensions and the growing threat of cross-border warfare.

Hezbollahâs Sheikh Naim Qassem delivers a fierce warning to former U.S. President Donald Trump: unless he frees himself from Israelâs control, any hope for success in the Middle East is doomed. Resistance is not just a choice â itâs the only path to dignity, freedom, and national survival. With decades of struggle behind them, Hezbollah and its allies vow no surrender, only victory or martyrdom. Watch as they lay bare the truth about U.S. involvement, Israeli occupation, and the unbreakable spirit of Lebanonâs resistance. This is a message Washington and Tel Aviv cannot ignore.

When asked whether he views Vladimir Putin as a âgood guy or bad guy,â Donald Trump offered a calculated response, refusing to label the Russian President. Trump stated that he knows Putin âvery wellâ and called both Putin and Ukraine's Zelenskyy âvery stubborn.â His comments come as Russia unleashes intense new strikes on Ukraine. Trump expressed disappointment over the escalation but stopped short of harshly condemning Putin, raising questions about his stance on the ongoing war. The ambiguity of his statement is already sparking heated political and public debate.

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 Trumpâs envoy promised to lift the Gaza blockade, allow humanitarian aid, and publicly call for a ceasefire in exchange for the hostageâs release.

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. Netanyahuâs 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 Trumpâs team, and what his release means for the remaining hostages and ongoing ceasefire talks.
