US-Israeli hostage addresses Trump in new video released by Hamas

0 27

Hamas’s armed wing published a video Saturday of an American-Israeli hostage held in Gaza since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel.

In the video, whose date cannot be verified, a pale looking Edan Alexander, 20, sits in a dark space against a wall and addresses US president-elect Donald Trump in English and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Hebrew.

He calls on Israelis to put pressure on the government to secure the release of the hostages seized on October 7.

It is unclear whether his statement was scripted by his captors.

“The shocking video of Edan, an American-Israeli citizen, is definite proof that despite all the rumours – there are living hostages and they are suffering greatly,” the Hostage Families Forum campaign group said in a statement.

“One year after the first and only deal, it’s clear to everyone: returning the hostages is only possible through a deal,” it added.
