SHOTLIST: TENAFLY, NEW JERSEY, US (JUNE 19, 2025) (ANADOLU - ACCESS ALL) 1. VARIOUS OF CROWD GREETING POLICE CONVOY CARRYING EDAN ALEXANDER AND CHEERING 2. VARIOUS OF CROWD CELEBRATING WITH FLAGSTENAFLY, NEW JERSEY, US - JUNE 19: Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli soldier taken hostage during the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, returned his hometown in Tenafly, New Jersey on Thursday, June 19. Alexander was set free by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas last month following talks led by US President Donald Trump’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the release occurred “without conditions to Hamas” and was due to Israel’s military pressure and Trump’s diplomatic efforts. A 13-point US plan presented to both Hamas and Israel outlines a 60-day truce, mutual hostage and prisoner releases, and structured talks on Gaza’s future, along with Hamas' release of 10 living Israeli captives and the remains of 18 others in two stages, according to Israeli and American media and Palestinian sources. Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, Israel has pursued a devastating offensive in Gaza since October 2023, killing over 54,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children. Aid agencies have warned about the risk of famine among the enclave's population. Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war crimes against civilians in the enclave.
