The explanation did not indicate when the 21-year-old Alexander would be released.
Hamas has explained that it will publish a US Israeli captivity held in Gaza, since the group confirmed that in direct discussions with the United States in the queue in the enclave and who flows again that Israel has been blocked for 70 days, was blocked in an insulting Palestinian population.
The Palestinian group published an explanation on Sunday: “The Israeli soldier Edan Alexander, a double -lodged member of the state, will be published as part of the efforts for an armistice and the reopening of auxiliary crossings.
The statement did not indicate when the 21-year-old Alexander would be released, but it is assumed that she would be 48 hours in the next.
The Israeli media reported that the US envoy Steve Witkoff will be as part of the deal in Israel on Monday.
It comes shortly before visiting US President Donald Trump in the Middle East this week – which does not include a trip to Israel. Trump and Witkoff have often mentioned Alexander by name in recent months.
In his declaration on Sunday, Hamas said that it was ready to “start intensive negotiations”, which would lead to an agreement to terminate the war and see Gaza under a technocratic and independent administration.
“This will ensure calm and stability as well as the reconstruction and the end of the blockade for many years,” said the group.
There was no immediate comment from Trump Administration.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Sunday that the United States announced Israel that Alexander’s release would lead to negotiations on the release of further prisoners. The explanation added that Israel’s politics has not changed: negotiations are carried out under fire, with a persistent obligation to achieve all war goals.
Alexander, who grew up in the United States, was taken out of his military base during the attack on October 7, 2023 led by Hamas.
On Sunday, two officers from the Hamas to the AFP news agency announced that the talks in the Qatarian capital Doha lasted with the United States and reported that “progress” had been made.
A Hamas officer who spoke about the talks with the USA said that it was made “progress … especially when entering help in the Gaza Strip” and the potential exchange of prisoners for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli custody.
A second officer also reported on progress, “about the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip”.
Israel smashed the last ceasefire, which lasted two months, on March 18, started a large offensive in Gaza and increased its bombing of the territory.
Since March 2, it has also cut off all the help for Gaza and said that Hamas would put pressure on the remaining prisoners. Nobody was published.
The hunger has penetrated the entire Gaza strip due to the Israeli blockade.
At the beginning of this month, the Israeli government approved plans to expand its offensive in the Gaza Strip, whereby the officials talked about maintaining a long -term presence there.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Sunday that his campaign has been resumed since Israel and the number of fatalities had broken out to 52,829.
