US President Donald Trump’s special envoy on hostages Adam Boehler is traveling from the United States to Israel with the parents of American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander ahead of the latter’s expected release from Hamas captivity, a US official tells The Times of Israel.
Earlier, Boehler said news of Alexander’s release was a positive step forward, adding: “We would also ask that Hamas release the bodies of four other Americans that were taken.”
