Foundation for the Defense of Democracies: American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander was freed on May 12 after spending 584 days in captivity following his abduction by Hamas during the Iran-backed terrorist organization’s atrocities on October 7, 2023. The 21-year-old IDF soldier, believed to have been the last living American citizen held hostage in Gaza, was handed over to a Red Cross delegation by Hamas before being transferred to Israeli forces and returned to Israel. To facilitate a safe transfer, the IDF reportedly paused airstrikes and artillery barrages against Hamas positions to establish a secure corridor in Gaza (FDD).

Reunited with family: (X). His treatment in captivity: … he was held for a long period in a cage, bound hand and foot. As a result of the prolonged restraint, he suffered significant weakness in his legs and struggled to walk upon his release. Red Cross personnel had to assist him into the vehicle during his transfer. Alexander was held alongside other hostages in the southern Gaza Strip, including Matan Zangauker, in a tunnel without daylight. There, he endured severe food shortages, according to a report by Kan 11. Only in recent months did he begin to receive more food, and in the final weeks before his release, the terrorists reportedly took to calling him “the American.” Footage from his hometown in New Jersey: (Jerusalem Post).

⚠️First testimony from Edan:
He was held in a cage with his hands and legs tied up. He was not given food for most of his time as hostage until the last two months before he was released.

The Red Cross did not visit American citizen Edan Alexander once during his time in captivity
He saw them for the first time during his propaganda parade today
The Red Cross should not qualify as a 501(c)(3)
