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.

Israel has eliminated Saeed Izadi, the Quds Force commander accused of masterminding Hamas’ October 7, 2023 massacre. Killed in a precise IDF strike on an apartment in Qom, Iran, Izadi was Iran’s key link to Hamas and Lebanon-based terror factions. He led the Quds Force’s Palestine Corps, funneled funds to Hamas, and coordinated military strategy. Israeli officials call his death a severe blow to Iran-Hamas operations, vowing to continue targeting key figures threatening Israel’s national security.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a powerful final warning to Iran amid escalating tensions, declaring full control over Tehran’s skies and targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure.

With deep losses mounting, Netanyahu thanks U.S. President Trump for unwavering support and confirms continued military pressure in Gaza to defeat Hamas and return hostages.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has sparked global backlash by justifying President Trump’s strikes on Iran, declaring past leaders were “dumb” and lacked vision. “This war is justified,” Vance claimed, as Tehran reels from coordinated U.S.-Israel attacks. His remarks come amid widespread condemnation from China, Russia, and the Muslim world. Critics call the statement a green light for unprovoked warfare. With Tehran vowing retaliation, Vance’s blunt rhetoric adds fuel to an already volatile situation, while painting the U.S. escalation as necessary and “smart.”

Just hours after Iran launched six consecutive missile barrages on Israel—killing four civilians in Be’er Sheva— U.S. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare an official ceasefire in what he calls “The 12-Day War.” But with explosions rocking Tel Aviv minutes before his announcement, many are now asking: Did Trump fake the ceasefire?
