"To President Trump, I am an American-Israeli citizen currently held captive in Gaza. As an American, I have always believed in the power of the United States, and now I am sending my message," Eden Alexander said in the video.
"Please use your influence and the full power of the United States to negotiate for our freedom. Every day here feels like an eternity, and the pain within us grows from day to day. Please do not make the same mistake Joe Biden has been doing,” he said. "The weapons he has sent are now killing us, and the unlawful sieges are now starving us. I don’t want to end up dead.”
Tel Aviv holds more than 10,000 Palestinians in its prisons. Estimates are that there are 101 Israeli captives in Gaza. Hamas announced that dozens of the captives were killed in random Israeli air strikes.
