American hostage Edan Alexander has been handed over to the Red Cross, to be transported to Israel after the Trump Administration mediated his release.

It is the first and only time the Red Cross have seen the 21 year old in his 583 days in captivity.

His family cheered his release. Well-wishers cheered on the convoy delivering him out of terrorist imprisonment.

Statement from the family of Edan Alexander:

"Today, on Mother's Day, we received the greatest gift imaginable--news that our beautiful son Edan is returning home after 583 days in captivity in Gaza.

We express our deepest gratitude to President Trump, Steve Witkoff, and the US administration for their tireless work to make this happen.

We urge the Israeli government and the negotiating teams: please don't stop. We hope our son's release begins negotiations for all 58 remaining hostages, ending this nightmare for them and their families. No hostage should be left behind."

There are still 59 hostages being held by Hamas. Reportedly, the Red Cross hasn't seen any of them.
