Hamas officially announces that it intends to release hostage soldier Edan Alexander, who holds American citizenship.
In a statement, Hamas says the decision to release Alexander comes after recent talks with US officials and “intensified efforts to achieve a ceasefire, open border crossings, and allow humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.”
It does not say when Alexander will be released.
The terror group also says that it is prepared to enter intensified negotiations aimed at reaching a final agreement to end the war, establish a mutually “agreed prisoner exchange, and enable Gaza to be administered by an independent professional authority.”
Hamas uses the term “prisoner exchange” to refer to the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian security prisoners.
