‘Edan, You Are Safe!’

Fox News reported that Hamas released American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, 21, after nearly 600 days in Gaza thanks to U.S.-mediated efforts. Received by the Israel Defense Forces, Alexander underwent medical and psychological evaluations before reuniting with his family.

Yael Alexander, Edan’s mother, expressed joy, saying, “Edan, you are safe!” Crowds in Tenafly, N.J., and Tel Aviv celebrated. A Mother’s Day to remember!

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said, “This is a very emotional moment -- Edan Alexander has returned home. We embrace him, and we embrace his family. This was achieved thanks to our military pressure and the diplomatic pressure applied by President Trump. That combination is a winning formula.”
