Hamas said it is willing to release US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander and the bodies of four dual nationals held in Gaza.

Hamas said it was ready to release a living American hostage and four bodies, though it was unclear if the US and Israeli governments sought such a move and whether they would accept it unconditionally.

Hamas says it has accepted a proposal to release an American-Israeli hostage in Gaza and 4 bodies of dual nationals

Hamas, the militant group the U.S. has labeled as terrorists, says it's willing to release the one living American hostage and bodies of four others it's held in Gaza since the 2023 attacks in Israel.

Hamas said on Friday it agreed to release Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander and return the bodies of four other American-Israeli hostages. Why it matters: Hamas' statement didn't make clear what the group demands in return for releasing the five remaining American hostages.
