NEW YORK – After the release of Edan Alexander, an Israeli American, from Hamas captivity, Amb. Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), released the following statement:
“After 583 days, Edan Alexander is finally back in the arms of his family.
“It’s a moment of relief, but it’s also a stark reminder that 58 hostages remain in the hands of a brutal terror group.
“We cannot allow them to be forgotten. We must keep fighting until they’re all home."
