Gaza Strip | An American-Israeli soldier held hostage for more than 19 months in the Gaza Strip was released on Monday (Tuesday AEST), Hamas said, in a goodwill gesture toward the Trump administration that could lay the groundwork for a new ceasefire with Israel.
An Israeli official confirmed that the transfer of Edan Alexander was underway without providing specifics. The official was not authorised to brief media and spoke on condition of anonymity.
