JERUSALEM (VINnews) — In a scene of unadulterated joy which took place this evening, Hamas hostage Idan Alexander finally met up with his parents and siblings.

Israel has released touching video capturing the moment Yael Alexander spoke to her son Edan by phone just after he was freed from captivity in Gaza. The emotional exchange followed his release after nearly two years of being held by Hamas.
“You are strong. You are safe. You are home. We’ll see each other soon. I love you,” said Yael Alexander to her 21-year-old son, an IDF staff sergeant, as their voices finally reunited after 19 harrowing months apart.
In the background, friends and family could be heard erupting in elation, shouting “Oh my God!” as Yael was passed the phone to speak with her beloved Edan, who was finally free.

British police on Monday were investigating an overnight fire at the London house where Prime Minister Keir Starmer lived before he was elected to lead the country. Since taking office in July, Starmer has lived in the prime minister’s official Downing Street residence, renting out the family home in the Kentish Town neighborhood. London’s Metropolitan Police force said that counterterrorism officers were involved in the investigation. Firefighters were called to “a small fire” just after 1 a.m. (0000 GMT or 8 p.m. EDT), the city’s fire department said. Two engines responded, and the blaze was out within a half-hour. Police said that officers who responded to the scene found damage “to the property’s entrance,” but that nobody was hurt.

In a major development for Orthodox Jewish families across the U.S., the House Ways and Means Committee has included the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) in its section of the multi-trillion federal tax reconciliation package being considered by the House of Representatives. The proposed legislation would allocate $5 billion in annual federal tax credits to support scholarships that help cover private school tuition—including for yeshivos. The bill’s inclusion marks a key milestone for advocates of school choice, particularly in the Orthodox Jewish community where the cost of chinuch has long been a source of financial strain for families.
