Al-Qassam Brigades publish video of US-Israeli soldier in Gaza

The Qassam Brigades, Hamas' armed wing, has published a video of an Israeli-American soldier currently being held in Gaza.

In the video, Edan Alexander, 20, directed his message towards US President-elect Donald Trump, pleading for Trump to secure his release.

In September, the families of American captives held in Gaza met with President Joe Biden and called for a unilateral deal - a deal that doesn't include Israel - to secure the release of their relatives.

Hamas leaders were expected to arrive in Cairo on Saturday for ceasefire talks, in which a possible deal could secure the release of captives in return for Palestinian prisoners.
