Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) rejoices in the long-awaited release of Edan Alexander, an American citizen held captive by Hamas for 584 days. This extraordinary victory, announced today, is a testament to the power of persistent prayer, unwavering advocacy, and the Trump administration’s resolute commitment to securing the freedom of American citizens. CWA’s tireless efforts to raise awareness about the hostage crisis have amplified the voices of those unjustly held, and today’s triumph fuels our determination to continue this critical work.
“After 584 days of anguish, Edan Alexander’s release is nothing short of a miracle and a moment of profound joy for his family, our nation, and all who have prayed for his safe return,” said Penny Nance, CEO and President of Concerned Women for America. “This is a monumental victory that renews our hope and resolve. We are immensely grateful to President Donald Trump for his bold and unrelenting leadership in bringing Edan home. His administration’s diplomatic strength sends an unmistakable message: America will not waver until every hostage is free. We stand firmly with Israel in its fight against terrorism and urgently call for Hamas to release all remaining hostages immediately, so they too may be reunited with their loved ones.”
CWA has been a relentless champion for the hostages, spearheading grassroots initiatives, driving public advocacy, and mobilizing communities to ensure the crisis of those held by Hamas remains a national priority. This breakthrough strengthens our commitment to press forward until every captive is freed. The Trump administration’s stance against terrorism aligns seamlessly with CWA’s core principles of justice, human dignity, and opposition to terrorism and tyranny. We remain unwavering in our support for Israel’s right to defend itself and its people against such atrocities.
Concerned Women for America urges all Americans to join us in fervent prayer for the swift and safe release of every hostage still held in Gaza. We call for continued support of policies that prioritize the safety and security of our citizens and stand in solidarity with Israel. Let us celebrate this victory while recommitting to the fight for freedom for all.
