The Palestinian group Hamas has announced it is ready to free Israeli American captive Edan Alexander and hand over the remains of four other dual nationals, after holding indirect talks with Israel.
Hamas said in a statement on Friday that its delegation received a proposal from mediators on Thursday to resume ceasefire negotiations, and the group’s reply “included its agreement to release the Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, who holds American citizenship, along with the remains of four others holding dual citizenship”.
