Einav Zangauker, mother of kidnapped hostage Matan Zangauker, addressed the expected release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, who reportedly has been held alongside her son, in a post on X. "From the moment I heard you would remain alone, the tears haven't stopped for a second. I try to imagine what deep friendship you developed with Edan, I'm sure you were emotional and physical support for each other." She also wrote, "I am doing everything to get you out of there. I promise you I will never stop, I won't rest until I embrace you in my arms."
