Hamas has announced that it is willing to release Edan Alexander, an American Israeli soldier who has been held in Gaza for 17 months, and return the remains of four other hostages. The details of when the release will happen and what Hamas is demanding in exchange are still unclear. Israel has not yet commented on the statement. The Trump administration has recently held meetings with Hamas in an attempt to free the remaining American hostages held in Gaza.
