Hamas will release Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old who has been held for over 550 days, as part of an effort to reach a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, President Donald Trump announced on Sunday.
“I am happy to announce that Edan Alexander, an American citizen who has been held hostage since October 2023, is coming home to his family. I am grateful to all those involved in making this monumental news happen. This was a step taken in good faith towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators — Qatar and Egypt — to put an end to this very brutal war and return ALL living hostages and remains to their loved ones. Hopefully this is the first of those final steps necessary to end this brutal conflict. I look very much forward to that day of celebration!” Trump wrote on TruthSocial.
Alexander is the only living American citizen among 59 hostages still being held in a Gaza impoundment by Hamas terrorists. Of those 59, just 21 are thought to be alive, while the condition of the others are not known. Alexander’s parents are heading to Israel with the Trump’s Special Envoy for Hostage Response Adam Boehler to welcome Alexander out of captivity.
And this could have happened a year sooner had Biden and his (D)em handlers wanted it to happen. Maybe without using the auto-pen. Instead he chose to assemble a military pier to deliver supplies to Gaza which were immediately commandeered by Hamas. And the pier operation led by that feckless administration cost American lives.
The pier was constructed for a hostage rescue mission that rescued four people and killed 120 children.

Pretty smart by Hamas, an attempt to drive a wedge between Trump and Netanyahu. Won’t work, but still smart, though a year and a half late. Cheers –
Why would Hamas need to drive a wedge? Bibi has done a perfect job himself, by calling Trump an idiot that pays the bills any chance he gets. What did Netanyahu just say last week? Trump is too weak for Israel to depend on, who needs Hamas when Israel openly mocks us while bleeding the country dry. Imagine what every state in the Union could have done annually with a billion dollars over the last 25 years.
Great, now can we stop bankrolling this failed British colony? We have homeless veterans while Israelis get free college, medical and housing all on our dime.
How much longer until the general public figures out that Israel is the bad guy in the middle east.
My guess to your question is as soon as the protesters hiding behind the robes and masks finish destroying the colleges and universities across America the “general public” is paying for they will start to realize they are actually helping the “good guys”?
So should we assume as well the massacre and slaughter of innocent concert attendees and taking of hostages was done by the “good guys”?
If you are trying to convince me Israel is the “bad guy” I dont even want to meet the “good guy”…I have seen enough of their carnage on the campuses.
Related to Anna Braun by any chance…?
“carnage on the campuses” LOL
Trump has finally realized that once he cut off Netanyahoo from Middle East foreign policy negotiations, the prospects for meaningful peace in the region became much better. The fact that Mike Waltz was caught spying on Trump in an Oval Office foreign policy meeting, using an Israeli intelligence app, was the final straw! Bye,bye, Bibi!
And hello to MAGA! Our tax dollars at work for America, not sending Israeli kids on field trips to Prauge.
