Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli who was held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for 584 days, is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at the White House on Thursday. Alexander was released in May as part of a U.S.-brokered deal and returned to his home in New Jersey last month. This meeting is set to take place several days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit Washington. The White House has confirmed the meeting, noting that the President and First Lady have previously met with other hostages released from Gaza and are looking forward to this engagement.
