Edan Alexander, a dual Israeli-American citizen, was released from Hamas captivity in Gaza after a significant U.S.-mediated agreement.
This deal, largely bypassing Israel, involved intense pressure from President Trump, who is planning a Middle East visit soon.
Alexander's release, occurring just before Trump's trip, is viewed by some as a strategic move by Hamas to gain American support.
Despite the success, many hostages remain in Hamas's custody, creating lingering tensions and highlighting ongoing negotiations.
