The U.S. government is turning up the heat on Hamas, demanding the release of American hostage Edan Alexander and the remains of four other Americans still held in Gaza. On Friday’s NewsNation broadcast of Cuomo, U.S. Hostage Envoy Adam Boehler made it clear: the top priority is bringing home all living hostages—no delays, no distractions.
Boehler didn’t mince words. He warned Hamas that harming Alexander would come with serious consequences, emphasizing that President Biden is laser-focused on bringing Americans home. “They need to release him right now,” Boehler stated firmly, adding that thousands of lives are already at risk. With another hostage release expected soon, all eyes are on Hamas to see if they’ll comply—or face the fallout.
