Yael Alexander, the mother of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, expressed relief and concern after seeing her son in a Hamas propaganda video. Edan, who was taken hostage during Hamas’ attacks in Gaza, appeared distressed and called for President-elect Donald Trump to negotiate for the release of those still captive. Yael described the video as emotional and difficult to watch, as her son appeared to be crying and under duress. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assured her that efforts were being made to secure the release of the hostages. Despite talks between Hamas and Egyptian officials, progress has been slow in securing a ceasefire and release of hostages in Gaza. The United States has announced involvement in negotiations to reach a deal. Yael called for bipartisan action to bring the American hostages home, emphasizing the importance of human life. The video served as a stark reminder of Hamas’ terror and the urgency of securing the release of those still captive. Overall, the situation remains tense and uncertain, with efforts being made to bring the hostages back safely.
