Hamas said in a statement Monday that its armed wing, the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades released Edan Alexander, a U.S.-Israeli soldier, early that day.
A source close to the group confirmed Alexander was handed to the International Committee of the Red Cross in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Hamas said the move followed intensive contacts with the U.S. administration and came as part of ongoing mediation efforts toward a broader ceasefire.
For young global citizens, business and tech enthusiasts, and changemakers, this release highlights the impact of neutral mediators and humanitarian channels. Research shows that inclusive dialogue can accelerate negotiations and reduce civilian risks.
As global audiences track peace initiatives, the handover offers a rare moment of relief and a reminder that diplomacy—even amid intense conflict—can yield real-world results.
