Today, Idan will speak by phone with President Trump, who helped facilitate his release, and later this month he is expected to meet him at the White House. During his flight on a helicopter to the hospital, Alexander wrote on a board: Thank you President Trump! Am Yisrael Chai.”

Idan, who enlisted in the Golani Brigade as a lone soldier and holds U.S. citizenship, was captured during the battle at the Kisufim outpost, during the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
Qatar is the one that sponsors Hamas. Unfortunately, Trump’s mental abilities must have really deteriorated between his first and second term since he is able to support such islamonazi tyrannical regimes as Qatar and to “make peace” with, aka allow nuclear weaponization of, Iran.
Refuah shlaima! May Hashem give a Refuah shlaima to Edan ben Yael and send Moshiach already.
I don’t think it’s fair to put any expectations on someone in this situation.
