Yael and Adil Alexander are anxiously awaiting news on the release of their son, Edan, who has been held captive for 292 days. Edan, a 20-year-old Israeli American, was kidnapped while volunteering in Israel and preparing to serve in the Israel Defense Forces.
Yael expressed the family's anguish, stating that not being able to speak with her son for nearly a year has been a nightmare. The couple is hopeful that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will announce progress towards a deal for Edan's release during his speech to Congress.
