COMING HOME: American Hostage Edan Alexander Released by Hamas, Shares Emotional Call With Mother — 'You are Safe' [WATCH]

posted by Hannity Staff - 5.12.25

Promises made. Promises kept.

Israel released powerful footage showing the emotional moment Edan Alexander’s mother spoke with her son — just moments after he was freed from Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

“You’re out, my dear. That’s it. I’m here waiting for you. Everything’s ok, you’re ok. You’re safe and you’re home, we’re going to meet soon. I love you my dear,” she said, according to a translation provided by Israel Defense Forces and shared on social media.

Watch the clip below:

President Donald Trump shared the news of Alexander’s release on TRUTH Social early Monday morning: “EDAN ALEXANDER, AMERICAN HOSTAGE THOUGHT DEAD, TO BE RELEASED BY HAMAS. GREAT NEWS!”

Alex Witkoff, son of special envoy Steve Witkoff, shared a message on X shortly after the video went live.

“Proud to witness a moment I’ll never forget—my father, Steve Witkoff, handing the phone to Yael Alexander after 584 days of Edan’s captivity and torture. Even in deep despair, light can break through. We celebrate today—and fight harder to bring every remaining hostage home,” Witkoff said.

Alexander is the last living American held captive by Hamas since they seized hundreds of hostages during the Oct. 7, 2023 terror attack.
