Hamas Releases Video of Hostage Edan Alexander

News summary

Hamas has released a video of 20-year-old Idan Alexander, an Israeli-American hostage abducted during the October 7 attack, which serves as a tool of psychological warfare. In the three-and-a-half-minute clip, Alexander appears gaunt and pleads with both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to secure his release. He expresses disappointment in the Israeli government's efforts and urges citizens to demonstrate for a ceasefire. The video marks the first sign of life from Alexander in months and has prompted his family to call on both U.S. and Israeli administrations to intensify efforts for a hostage release. Netanyahu condemned the video as cruel manipulation and assured that efforts are underway to bring the hostages home. The situation remains critical, with approximately half of the 101 foreign and Israeli hostages believed to still be alive in Gaza.
