16:16โขHamas Releases Passover Eve Proof-of-Life Video of Hostage Idan Alexander
โจThe newspapers extensively report on Hamas releasing a proof-of-life video of kidnapped IDF soldier Idan Alexander, who has been held captive in Gaza for 554 days (13tv, Haaretz, Israel Hayom, Kan, Mako, n12, Ynet). The video was released just before Passover, marking the second footage received of Alexander, who also holds American citizenship. Media notes the timing coincides with Trump administration efforts to secure his release as part of a partial deal (Ynet). Additionally, US-Iran nuclear talks have concluded their first "positive" round in Oman, with direct contact between Iran's foreign minister and the US envoy Witkoff, and negotiations set to resume next week (Jerusalem Post, times, walla).
