Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander has returned to Israel after being released by Hamas, the Israeli military says. Alexander, 21, was serving in an elite infantry unit on the border with Gaza when he was captured during the 7 October attacks. Of the 251 hostages, 59 remain in Gaza, up to 24 of whom are believed to be alive. A senior Palestinian official told the BBC that the handover was intended as a goodwill gesture before US President Donald Trump's arrival on Tuesday in Qatar for negotiations.
