We're talking about finding some good news in the ongoing hostage crisis in Gaza, a glimmer of hope for the remaining 58 captives.

I'm talking about the release of the last living American prisoner.

You'll hear from the parents of Edon Alexander.

Their son is finally, finally home.

Thank you. is finally, finally home.

For more than 500 days, their son, a 19-year-old American Israeli, was held hostage by Hamas. For more than

500 days they did not know if he was dead or alive. Tonight, you'll hear from the parents

of Edon Alexander. One week ago, their son was freed.

What did he endure?

What have they endured?

And what does this moment mean, not just for them, but for every family still waiting?

It's a story of terror, of resilience, and of faith in family, in country, and in humanity.

You're about to witness a conversation that speaks to the heart of every parent.

What would you do if your child was taken?

And no one could tell you when or if you would ever see him again.

Welcome, Ya'all and Adé.

Good morning, and I want to just jump right in here,

and Ya'il and Adi, thank you so much for joining me this morning.

I see smiles on both of your faces, and you certainly see one on mine. I'm so glad that we're here talking about this great time when you have Edon back in your arms. You can put your hands on him. You can look him in the eye. Tell me how you're feeling at this point. We feel unbelievable. It's really out of body experience, you know, to see our son for the first time after so long,

584 days and he looked okay. He was like the same tall, beautiful kid, even next to the captors, that surprised me really.
