The Palestinian Hamas movement published a video clip today, Saturday, of an American-Israeli prisoner with dual citizenship named Idan Alexander, in which he called on US President-elect Donald Trump to use his influence and all possible means to negotiate for the release of detainees in Gaza.

In the video, Alexander said the guards told them "new instructions" if the Israeli army reached them.

Alexander called on the Israelis to go out and demonstrate daily to pressure the government to accept a prisoner exchange deal and a ceasefire in Gaza.

"It is time to put an end to this nightmare," the prisoner said.
