The parents of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander call on US President-elect Donald Trump to work with President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to secure a hostage deal after Hamas publishes a video showing signs of life of their son.
“While this video confirms our son, Edan, is alive, it also stands as a haunting reminder that 101 innocent people remain in the clutches of Hamas,” say Yael and Adi Alexander say in a joint statement. “Every passing hour dims the prospect of their survival.”
“President-elect Trump must not wait until he is inaugurated to help reach a deal that secures the freedom for Edan, six other Americans, and the rest of the hostages. Their liberation depends on swift, decisive action. Bring them home now, before it’s too late,” they add.
