Another Hostage Abandoned By Biden-Harris Freed Under President Trump-Edan Alexander, Released by Hamas Terrorists, Arrives in Israel
On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported that the Iran-backed terror organization Hamas announced the release of American-Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, 21.
Alexander, a dual U.S. citizen from New Jersey, was abducted on October 7, 2023, during the brutal Hamas-led invasion that left over 1,200 Israelis dead and hundreds kidnapped.
He is the last known American hostage still alive in Hamas custody.
Alexander was transferred to the Red Cross and handed over to Israeli special forces who escorted him out of the Gaza Strip.
American citizen Edan Alexander finally released from captivity and transferred to the Red Cross after 19 months captive in Gaza.
During his time imprisoned in Gaza, the Red Cross did not visit him a single time.

Edan’s grandmother thanked President Trump calling him a messenger for God.
“Trump made all the efforts and he is a good messenger of the Holy One, blessed be he,” Varda Ben Baruch told Ynet of the US president’s efforts to secure her grandson’s release.
“Thank God that the government cared about him.”
Since his return to the White House in January, President Trump has brought almost 50 Americans home who were forgotten and abandoned by the Biden-Harris regime.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Alexander may meet US President Donald Trump in Qatar, “if he wishes and his medical condition allows it, his family told YNet Monday evening ahead of his release from Hamas captivity.”
This story is developing.
