The family of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, who was kidnapped by Hamas in October 2023, pleads with President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump to work together to bring all the hostages home. Talks for a ceasefire in Gaza have hit a wall in recent months, with Hamas demanding guarantees for a full hostage release and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to continue fighting until Hamas is crushed.
