Hamas has recently released a video featuring Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander appealing to US President-elect Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for his release. Netanyahu has condemned the video, labeling it as psychological warfare, while also promising to make efforts to secure the release of hostages. The Hamas leaders are currently in Cairo for ceasefire discussions, with a focus on potentially exchanging hostages for Palestinian prisoners. The hostage situation has brought significant attention to the ongoing conflict in the region.
