Hamas recently released a video featuring Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander appealing for his release, directing his plea to US President-elect Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Netanyahu has denounced the video, labeling it as psychological warfare while promising ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages. Concurrently, Hamas leaders are currently in Cairo engaged in ceasefire discussions aimed at facilitating a potential exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners. This development underscores the delicate negotiations and tensions in the region.
