- Hamas announced that Edan Alexander, the only remaining American held hostage in Gaza, will be freed within 48 hours as part of efforts to secure a ceasefire and resume humanitarian aid through reopened crossings.

- The release could lead to broader negotiations to end the 19-month war that began after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack, which displaced 90% of Gaza’s 2 million residents amid ongoing Israeli bombardments.
