Alexander, believed to be the last living captive with US nationality in Gaza, was taken by Hamas during the 7 October attacks.

An American Israeli soldier held hostage for more than 19 months in the Gaza Strip was released Monday, Hamas said, in a goodwill gesture toward the Trump administration that could lay the groundwork for a new ceasefire with Israel.
