GAZA (ITALPRESS) – Hamas confirmed it has accepted a proposal to release hostage soldier Edan Alexander, a US citizen, and the bodies of four other slain dual nationals.

This was stated in a statement by the Palestinian group. Alexander is a soldier who was stationed near the Gaza Strip on the morning of October 7 when he was taken prisoner by Hamas. The group did not provide the names of the four slain dual nationals.

Hamas said it is “fully prepared to enter into negotiations and reach a comprehensive agreement on the issues of the second phase, while demanding the occupier to fully implement its obligations.”
