White House responds to disturbing Edan Alexander hostage video, denounces Hamas: 'Cruel reminder'

The White House has condemned a disturbing hostage video of Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli citizen who was abducted by Hamas terrorists. The video shows Alexander appearing gaunt and pale, delivering forced messages to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President-elect Trump. The White House called the video a 'cruel reminder of Hamas's terror' and expressed its commitment to securing the release of hostages in Gaza. The release of the footage came after the IDF and Hezbollah agreed to a 60-day cease-fire in Lebanon, with President Biden acknowledging Hamas' unwillingness to negotiate a ceasefire and hostage deal.
