Hamas to free last surviving American-Israeli captive held in Gaza, Edan Alexander

May 12, 2025  
Hamas announced on Sunday it will release Edan Alexander, an Israeli soldier with dual American citizenship and the last remaining US captive in Gaza.

The Palestinian group said the move comes as part of ongoing negotiations to secure a ceasefire and improve humanitarian aid access to the territory.

The announcement precedes US President Donald Trump's scheduled Middle East tour, during which regional tensions are likely to be a key focus.
