Hamas to release last living American hostage.

The Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander is expected to be released by Hamas in Gaza this evening

Alexander, 21, was serving in an elite infantry unit on the border with Gaza when he was captured during the 7 October attacks

Of the 251 hostages, 59 remain in Gaza, up to 24 of whom are believed to be alive

Israel says there will be "a safe corridor" in Gaza for Alexander's release, but has not committed to a ceasefire

President Donald Trump's visit to the Middle East begins on Tuesday - he calls Alexander's scheduled release "great news"

A senior Palestinian official tells the BBC the Hamas announcement is intended as a goodwill gesture before Trump's arrival

Hamas also says the release is intended to facilitate an aid deal - Gaza has been under an Israeli blockade for more than two months

i guess israel's starvation campaign on the citizens of gaza is indeed working. i wonder how many multitudes of dead gazans it took to get that one american hostage back? no matter - brown people are expendable as far as we're concerned. or rather, as far as israel's iron grip on on our government and politicians are concerned.
