The Prime MInister's Office reiterated this sentiment on Monday, saying that Israel was able to secure the release of Alexander without committing to a ceasefire due to the support of the United States and IDF military pressure in the Gaza Strip. "The expected release of IDF soldier Edan Alexander without anything in return will be possible due to the vigorous policy that we have led with the backing of President Trump, and thanks to the military pressure of IDF soldiers in the Gaza Strip," the office stated. The PMO stated that Israel is preparing for the possibility that this move will materialize, and that "According to Israel's policy, the negotiations will take place under fire, with a commitment to achieving all the war's objectives."
