💨 Abstract

Hamas agreed to release Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander from Gaza on Monday. Israel paused military operations to facilitate his safe passage but insisted there would be no ceasefire. The release, brokered by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, was seen as a potential step toward freeing the remaining 59 hostages. Prime Minister Netanyahu faced criticism for prioritizing hostages with foreign support and for continuing military operations amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
