The agreement to release Edan Alexander came after talks between Washington and Hamas that did not include Israel.
Both Al Jazeera and Reuters are reporting that Hamas and the US are directly discussing a ceasefire and the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he’s days away from ordering an all-out escalation of Israel’s war against Hamas, and even the release of more hostages would only pause the campaign to destroy the Iran-backed group.
Hostage Edan Alexander made his first social media post one day after he was released by Hamas on May 12 following more than 500 days in captivity.
