Hamas says it will release last living American hostage in Gaza
Published in News & Features
Hamas said it will release the last living American hostage it holds in Gaza, following talks with the U.S. administration in recent days over a ceasefire deal.
The release of Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, who’s an American citizen, is a step toward reaching a new ceasefire agreement in Gaza, the militant group said late Sunday in a statement on Telegram. The Palestinian group said it also seeks to open border crossings and allow aid deliveries into the war-ravaged enclave.
The White House and National Security Council didn’t immediately respond to questions about the hostage release.
