‘Finally!’ NJ Senator Andy Kim celebrates Edan Alexander’s release
US Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey celebrates the release of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander, who hails from Tenafly, NJ.
“Finally!” writes Kim on X. “Edan will be in the arms of his mom and dad. I cannot imagine what this means for the Alexander family.”
He vows that the Tenafly community and the US at large will support Alexander throughout his recovery process, and will continue to push for the return of the remaining 58 hostages.
Finally! Edan will be in the arms of his mom and dad. I cannot imagine what this means for the Alexander family. 580+ days of pain leading to this moment. Everyone from their Tenafly community to others across America can breathe a sigh but recognize we need to be there for Edan… pic.twitter.com/tE5ldyEh5T
