Watch: “Thank you President Trump" Edan Alexander arrives at Ichilov hospital for medical checks
Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old Israeli-American hostage, was airlifted to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv on May 12, 2025, for medical checks after 584 days in Hamas captivity, accompanied by his family and celebrated in a heartfelt note to President Trump. While his release brings joy, the Kibbutz Nir Oz community decries the prioritization of an American-passport holder, leaving 58 hostages, including 14 from their community, in Gaza.
