Fox News’ ‘Antisemitism Exposed’ newsletter brings attention to the long-awaited release of American hostage Edan Alexander, a 21-year-old dual citizen of the U.S. and Israel, who was held by Hamas for over 580 days. Alexander, who moved to Israel at 18 to join the IDF’s Golani Brigade, was kidnapped on October 7, 2023. His release marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict, with President Trump praising his family on social media.
Meanwhile, in a key swing state, lawmakers have enacted legislation to prohibit campus encampments, aiming to curb anti-Israel protests on college campuses. The measure has sparked debate over free speech and the balance between academic freedom and security. Additionally, the Trump administration’s decision to withhold federal funding from Harvard University has drawn mixed reactions, with critics arguing the move could harm the institution’s reputation and financial stability.
Other developments include the display of the Palestinian flag at City Hall in an East Coast city, a gesture cited as a symbol of diversity. Meanwhile, a guest editorial by Sylvia Cunio, the mother of two hostages still held by Hamas, emphasizes the moral urgency of bringing her sons home. ‘The return of hostages is not political or military – it’s a moral imperative,’ she writes, urging immediate action.
