Adi Alexander, father of Hamas captivity survivor Edan Alexander, spoke with Ynet after their meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, saying: "It was an excellent meeting, about half an hour. Trump told Edan that he was terribly worried about him because there was a stage where they lost contact with him and then they were very happy when they received a sign of life. He told him that he is very happy that he is now in America and has a bright future ahead of him, and he will help with anything he needs." Alexander added that the president told them that "it's very important to him to get everyone out, including those who are alive and those who are not. He said 'we will close a deal.'"
