Hamas said he would release Alexander and the bodies of four hostages held there from October 7, 2023, a terrorist attack if Israel returned the fire to the fire interruption.
“They asked me a lot how this basketball program has become so competitive in the last eight years,” Pearl said. “But for me, I believe that God’s plan is to give this success, success beyond what we deserve. To give us this platform. To give us the opportunity to briefly start this conference and remind the world that Edan Alexander still has hostages in Gaza. The American has kept hostage, and there is not enough people in this country, knows his name.”

Pearl wondered why he felt the need for speak about hostages.
“October 7th was the worst day of the Holocaust for the Jewish people, and they say they want to do it over and over again. We currently have American hostages in Gaza, and that is unacceptable,” Pearl said. “And President Trump called it and said that if they only release hostages, the murder would stop. Release hostages, and the murder will stop, which is on Hamas.”
