Edan is Home: A Family's Victory Over Terror

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

For 584 days, their son was held hostage by Hamas. Tonight, Edan Alexander's parents share the story of their unimaginable wait – and the moment hope turned into homecoming. He was a 19-year-old Israeli-American IDF soldier who was taken by Hamas during the October 7th massacre and held hostage in Gaza for 584 days. His parents lived every day in agony, not knowing if he was alive – until the moment they finally got the call they'd been praying for. Now, in their first in-depth interview, Edan Alexander's parents sit down with Dr. Phil to share their private pain, public fight and the powerful reunion. It's a story of strength, faith and a family's refusal to give up – even in the darkest hours. Special thanks to our sponsors! Support the brands that support us!
