@abc7chicago: On Saturday, Hamas released a video of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander. Speaking under duress, Alexander referred to being held for 420 days and mentioned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent $5 million offer for the hostages' return. "The prime minister is supposed to protect his soldiers and citizens, and you abandoned us," Alexander said. Netanyahu's office said that he spoke with Alexander's family after the release of the "brutal psychological warfare video" that held "an important and exciting sign of life." "(Netanyahu) reassured me and promised that now, after reaching an arrangement in Lebanon, conditions are right to free you all and bring you home," Alexander's mother, Yael, told demonstrators in Tel Aviv on Saturday evening.
