The White House released a video of President Donald Trump speaking with American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander after he was released earlier this week after being held captive by Hamas since Oct. 7, 2023. In the video, Edan sits next to Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump's voice is heard on a speakerphone.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has stated that Ukraine is open to the possibility of a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian ruler Vladimir Putin in an extended format with the participation of US President Donald Trump.

President Trump said he plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday about stopping the "bloodbath" in Ukraine. He will then speak with Zelenskyy and leaders of various NATO countries.
