Hamas issues ultimatum for release of last living American-Israeli hostage
The Hamas terrorist group said Saturday that it will only release Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander if Israel implements the existing ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.
Alexander, 21, is the last living American hostage in captivity in the Gaza Strip.
A senior Hamas official told the Associated Press that long-delayed talks over the ceasefire’s second phase would need to begin the day of the release and last no longer than 50 days. Israel would also need to stop barring the entry of humanitarian aid and withdraw from a strategic corridor along Gaza’s border with Egypt.
Hamas called it an “exceptional deal” aimed at getting the truce back on track, per the official, who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
AFTER TRUMP THREAT, HAMAS REFUSES TO RELEASE MORE HOSTAGES WITHOUT PHASE 2 CEASEFIRE DEAL
Hamas is also demanding the release of more Palestinian prisoners in exchange for hostages, the official said.
Hamas on Friday agreed to release Alexander along with the bodies of four other hostages following a deal offered by mediators. He has now been held captive for 526 days as of Saturday, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said.
It comes as talks are ongoing in Qatar to establish the next phase of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, the first phase of which ended on March 1.
The office of Steve Witkoff, special envoy to the Middle East, and the National Security Council said in a joint statement that “President Trump has made it clear that Hamas will either release hostages immediately, or pay a severe price.”
Witkoff and Eric Trager, National Security Council senior director for the Middle East and North Africa, presented a ‘bridge’ proposal to extend the ceasefire beyond Ramadan and Passover and allow time to negotiate a framework for a permanent ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to convene his ministerial team on Saturday to receive a detailed report from negotiators and decide on the next steps for the release of the hostages.
Meanwhile, a number of rallies are expected to take place throughout Israel on Saturday to demand that all remaining 59 hostages are released, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said. The main rallies will take place in Tel Aviv, Sha’ar HaNegev Junction, Carmei Gat and Jerusalem.
Though he spent most of his life in New Jersey, Alexander was born in Israel a few months before his parents moved to the U.S., according to the American Jewish Committee (AJC).
After graduating from high school, Alexander decided he would enlist in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rather than enroll in college.
On Oct. 7, Alexander, who was serving in the IDF’s Golani Brigade, an infantry unit, was patrolling near Gaza when Hamas’ attacks on Israel began. The attacks ended with 1,200 Israelis dead and 251 hostages taken, including Alexander.

Yael Alexander, Edan’s mother, recounted the day he was taken hostage in a recent interview with AJC’s “People of the Pod.” Yael was in Israel in early October 2023, visiting her family and hoping to see Edan. On the morning of Oct. 7, she spoke with Edan, who said that he was seeing “terrible stuff,” but he assured her that he was safe. Then he was taken hostage.
On Nov. 30, 2024, more than a year after Alexander was captured, Hamas released a video of Alexander speaking in Hebrew and Arabic. Alexander, like other hostages forced to make propaganda videos, delivered messages about Netanyahu and then-President-elect Donald Trump.
Multiple people dead as violent tornadoes leave path of destruction across US
BAKERSFIELD, Mo. – At least 13 people are dead in Missouri and Arkansas following a widespread and dangerous severe weather outbreak Friday evening after numerous tornadoes were spotted across multiple states, causing significant damage.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said six of those deaths occurred in Wayne County; two others were reported in Ozark County, while the other two were confined in Butler and Jefferson counties.
In Arkansas, three fatalities have been confirmed in Independence County, and 29 people were reported injured in eight counties in connection to a storm system that moved through the state overnight, the Arkansas Division of Emergency Management said.
As daylight arrived, state officials are now discovering further damage throughout the region, pummeled by over 150 Tornado Warmings since Friday morning.
At least two people are dead in Missouri following a widespread and dangerous severe weather outbreak Friday evening.

A tornado in Villa Ridge, Missouri, outside of St. Louis, was captured on camera as it caused significant damage. According to storm chasers, the tornado’s winds caused numerous power flashes, several semi-trucks to flip, and various structures to be damaged.
Tornadoes were also reported in communities such as Rolla, Hartville and areas outside St. Louis.
At least five people were injured when a tornado tore through Cave City, Arkansas, according to Mayor Jonas Anderson, who declared a state of emergency.
“There are no known fatalities. This is an absolute miracle from God,” Anderson said. “There is a lot to wrap our heads around and lots to do.”
In southwestern Indiana, a violent tornado tore through parts of Gibson County, leaving a scene of destruction. Evansville resident Jay Burden captured video footage (seen below) of the tornado’s path toward Oakland City from his home.
“I was just hoping everyone in the path had clear advanced warning to take shelter,” Burden told FOX Weather.
Gibson County Sheriff Bruce Vanoven said in a video statement there was extensive damage around the Oakland city area and the rural Francisco area. “I implore you, I beg you, please do not come out and survey the storm damage,” he said. “Give us time to do our jobs. There are trees down. There were power lines down. There are power poles down. And we do not need people to come out being looky loos causing more emergencies for an already taxed emergency service personnel.”
WATCH: TORNADO LASHES TRUCK AS MEN RIDE OUT STORM AT ROLLA, MISSOURI GAS STATION
‘We are in a tornado!’
Dramatic video out of Rolla, Missouri, showed powerful winds sweeping over a gas station where two men came face-to-face with one of the tornadoes.
“We are in a tornado!” Tad Peters could be heard yelling on video.
Heavy rain and debris lashed their truck, but not significantly enough for the pair to drive off when the coast was clear.
Emergency management encouraged residents to stay away from the storm damage until authorities could assess the situation.
“Our thoughts are with the community of Rolla tonight, as they experienced a tornado touchdown. We kindly ask everyone to avoid the area and allow first responders to carry out their essential work,” Maries County Emergency Management said after seeing the supercell sweep through.

Several tractor-trailers were reported to have been flipped along the Interstate 44 corridor, but as of Friday evening, there were no reports of missing people first responders were searching for.
Data from Findenergy.com reported nearly a quarter of a million power outages associated with the severe weather from the Midwest through the lower Mississippi River Valley.
More than 150 million people were at heightened risk of severe weather over the two-day event. The SPC placed portions of more than half a dozen states under a ‘Particularly Dangerous Situation’ Tornado Watch Friday night ahead of the severe weather outbreak. A PDS Tornado Watch is issued when forecasters have high confidence that multiple violent tornadoes will occur in the watch area.
But Saturday is expected to be potentially the most dangerous day of the outbreak as the powerful storm system will continue tracking east across the central Gulf Coast states and Deep South into the Tennessee Valley.
“This will be a very scary situation for many,” said meteorologists with NWS Birmingham. “The atmosphere is so strong there isn’t a whole lot that will weaken it.”
A Level 5 out of 5 on the severe storm threat level is impacting 3.3 million people in major cities like Birmingham, Alabama, Jackson, Mississippi, Tuscaloosa and Hoover in Alabama and Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Leftist celebs like O’Donnell, DeGeneres are fleeing a Trump who doesn’t exist
The Daily Mail just profiled a few of the 6,100 Americans — “rich and famous” elites — who fled the U.S. and applied for U.K. citizenship, terrified of the ghost stories they told themselves about President Donald Trump and his return to the White House.
Dubbed “Donald Dashers,” they’re bolting for New Zealand and the U.K., a 26% jump from 2023 and a record high in two decades. It’s a tale of effete panic — proof, they say, that Trump’s America is unlivable. Except it’s not proof — it’s cosplay, and the data proves it’s a fantasy that only a handful of spoiled brats can afford to indulge.
Someone once remarked that the “British and Americans are two people separated by a common language.” Yet, one might suspect that those who uprooted to move to Notting Hill in London are one people with their neighbors, united by their contempt for common sense.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SLAMS ROSIE O’DONNELL AFTER SHE FLEES US: ‘YOU’RE BETTER OFF NOT KNOWING’ HER
The Census Bureau’s 2023 State-to-State Migration Flows report tells the real story. California lost 268,052 residents net — 690,127 moved out to other states, while 422,075 moved in — another year of bleeding talent and taxpayers. Texas gained 133,372 — 611,942 arrivals and 478,570 departures — with 93,970 Californians picking the Lone Star State as their top destination. That’s 15 times the 6,100 “Dashers” who abandoned the nation.
New York is no better: 481,544 moved out to other states, 302,835 moved in, a net loss of 178,709. Where’d they go? Florida, the top spot, took in 71,906 New Yorkers, while gaining 126,008 net — 636,933 arrivals and 510,925 departures.
Blue states are emptying, red states are thriving.
Jobs back this up. California saw its private sector jobs grow by an anemic 0.8% in 2024. New York was a shade stronger at 1.4% growth in private payrolls. Texas smoked both of its big blue state rivals with 2.1% job growth — 52% higher than New York and a whopping 156% higher than California.

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is likely thrilled to be terming out next year so that he can put some distance between the smoking remains of California’s economy and his expected run for president.
On the other hand, Texas, the epitome of red state Trump America, is a magnet for workers and businesses. People don’t flee opportunity — they chase it. Yet the “Dashers” ignore this, clutching their passports while millions move to Trump-friendly states, not away.
Trump’s net job approval tells another tale: it’s been positive on RealClearPolitics since the inauguration, with nearly half the country in his corner. If he’s such a nightmare, why are only 6,100 out of 340 million — 0.0018% — plotting an international escape?
These “Dashers” aren’t fleeing reality; they’re living a delusion. Maybe they think Trump’s coming for their tax cuts—the same cuts that fattened their wallets in his first term. Maybe they’ve bought the media’s “fascism” hype, despite four years of Trump leaving their caviar untouched and their free speech rights strengthened.

Whatever it is, it’s not the America the rest of us see. The “Dashers” can’t square this with their dystopian script, so they jet overseas while millions vote with moving vans and U-Hauls, migrating from blue to red states, chasing freedom and jobs, not fleeing Trump.
The “Donald Dashers” are a loud minority playing refugee dress-up from a tyranny that doesn’t exist. A boutique rebellion that will end in a whimper.

Canada’s new PM accused of being out of touch with the ‘common man’
OTTAWA-Canada’s self-described ‘globalist’ new Prime Minister Mark Carney immediately took aim at President Donald Trump upon winning his party’s leadership contest last week.
Carney criticized President Trump during his acceptance speech when he won the Liberal leadership last Sunday, saying that Canada’s tariffs against the United States will remain until the Americans “show us respect” and added that Canadians “are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.”
He also tried to tie Trump to his main challenger. “Donald Trump thinks he can weaken us with his plan to divide and conquer,” while “Pierre Poilievre’s plan will leave us divided and ready to be conquered.”
“Because a person who worships at the altar of Donald Trump will kneel before him, not stand up to him.”
NEW CANADIAN PM BLASTS TRUMP’S 51ST STATE IDEA: ‘CRAZY’
Having served as governor of two central banks – of Canada and the United Kingdom – he was also a senior executive at Goldman Sachs and served as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance. Never elected to any office before, Carney was sworn in on Friday to become Canada’s 24th prime minister.
He is expected to call an election this week in a bid to keep the Liberals in power, and for him, to win a seat in the House of Commons.
Count on the official opposition Conservatives, in a dead heat with the Liberals at 37% according to a recent Leger poll, to portray Carney as someone “not connected to the common man” and who has spent a fair amount of time outside Canada, Laura Kurkimaki told Fox News Digital. Kurkimaki served as deputy national campaign manager for the Conservative Party during the last federal election in 2021.
“Over the last five years, while Canadians have been lining up at foodbanks and experiencing a significant cost-of-living increase, he has not been in Canada,” Kurkimaki said.
Seen by detractors as out of touch, Carney, during a recent leadership debate, did not provide an answer when the moderator asked the candidates whether they knew the average cost of a week’s worth of groceries.
In an appearance on “The Rest is Politics” podcast last month featuring Alastair Campbell, former British prime minister Tony Blair’s press secretary, and past Goldman Sachs executive Anthony Scaramucci, Carney said that his “weakness is people will charge me as being elitist or globalist.”
MARK CARNEY WINS LIBERAL PARTY NOMINATION TO REPLACE TRUDEAU AS CANADA’S NEXT PM
“Well, that happens to be exactly what we need,” he said, adding that he’s also “a pragmatist” and “a leader in crisis.”
When Scaramucci asked Carney how he would respond to attacks that he is “out of touch with the mainstream, common citizen in Canada,” the new prime minister said that most of his life in Canada “has been in service of Canadians.”
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also targeted Carney, who played hockey at Harvard and Oxford, after he was photographed playing goalie reportedly wearing high-end sneakers.
“Trying to be a normal guy playing hockey in $2000 shoes,” Poilievre posted on X.
Kurkimaki said the upcoming federal election campaign with Carney at the Liberal helm could be a replay of the one in 2011 when another “out-of-touch” Liberal leader – historian Michael Ignatieff, who came from the world of academia – lost his House seat, and his party recorded its worst-ever result in a general election that the Conservatives won.
Canada’s new prime minister earned a bachelor’s degree in economics at Harvard University and went on to receive master’s and doctoral degrees in economics at the University of Oxford.
WHO IS PIERRE POILIEVRE? CANADA’S CONSERVATIVE LEADER SEEKING TO BECOME NEXT PRIME MINISTER AFTER TRUDEAU EXIT
Carney, who lived in the tony Ottawa neighborhood of Rockcliffe Park before becoming prime minister, also holds British and Irish citizenship. Earlier this month, he said that he had begun the process of renouncing both.
Along the way, the man whose looks were once compared to those of actor George Clooney made a fortune at England’s central bank alone. Carney earned $1.3 million, including pay, allowances and housing costs – the highest for the head of any federal reserve at the time.

However, his current net worth might not be revealed any time soon. Before becoming prime minister, Carney divested his assets, “other than his personal real estate, into a blind trust,” a member of his team told CBC News. Under Canadian law, public-office holders need to divest their assets, such as stock options, either by selling them or having a trustee manage or sell them without, in this case, consulting Carney.
Carney’s spokesperson did not return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
New book details Harris campaign’s strict seating arrangements
A new book about the presidential campaign of former Vice President Kamala Harris reports that her campaign demanded she be seated only in chairs that “met certain specifications.”
An excerpt from “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, published in The Hill, detailed the strict seating arrangements.
“Her team required that she be provided a chair that met certain specifications: ‘Leg height no less than 15 inches; floor to top of seat height no less than 18.9 inches; arms on chairs may not be very high, arms must fall at a natural height; chairs must be firm,” according to the book excerpt.
The mandated chair specifications came following her first media interview after taking over the top of the Democratic ticket roughly 40 days before.
CNN’S KAMALA HARRIS, TIM WALZ INTERVIEW CAN BE SUMMED UP IN JUST TWO WORDS
Harris was joined by her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for a joint interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Aug. 29, 2024.
The pair sat at a table, but the visual of Harris appearing to be lower than Walz prompted her team to issue a new mandate to never let it happen again.
“Sitting next to Walz in a chair that seemed to place her below him and heaping praise on Biden’s record, Harris did not look like a candidate seeking the highest office in the land,” the excerpt read. “The whole scene reinforced the criticism that the vice president was either incapable, or afraid, of answering tough questions on her own.”
But Allen and Parnes said that regardless of the mandated chair specs, “the question facing Harris was whether she could build a sturdy platform.”
BIDEN REPORTEDLY TOLD HARRIS THERE COULD BE ‘NO DAYLIGHT’ BETWEEN THEM ON POLICIES: REPORT
Also included in the excerpt was news of former President Joe Biden telling Harris to not distance herself from his policies.
“No daylight, kid,” Biden reportedly said.

Unearthed Obama clip from 2011 catches Elon Musk’s attention
If Democratic lawmakers won’t listen to President Trump on cutting waste, maybe they’ll listen to President Barack Obama.
In a recently resurfaced video from 2011, then-President Obama called on the federal government to cut wasteful government spending and programs, even the ones that “a lot of people care about.”
“Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions, and that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about,” the former president said in the nearly 14-year-old clip.
OBAMA CENTER SUBCONTRACTOR FILES $40M DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT AGAINST ENGINEERING FIRM FOR OVERRUNS
As a reminder to Democratic figures demanding an end to the Trump administration’s agenda of cutting wasteful government spending, conservative users on X shared the old video of Obama lobbying for similar things.
Though Obama mentioned the importance of these more painful cuts, he stressed that the U.S. government should at least get rid of its “pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn’t benefit anybody.”
He added that it’s “waste we should be getting rid of even if we didn’t have a deficit.”
“No amount of waste is acceptable, especially when it’s your money,” Obama said, referring to American taxpayers. “Just as families are living within their means, government should too.”
Obama even provided some examples of this “stupid spending,” asking viewers, “Did you know the federal government pays for a website devoted to a folk music ensemble made up of forest rangers? They’re called the ‘Fiddlin’ Foresters.’”
“I’ll put their music on my iPod, but I’m not paying for their websites.”
The 44th president went on to mention what other wasteful things taxpayers were paying for, including “thousands of buildings across the country that no one uses.”
Obama even announced that he was putting then-Vice President Joe Biden in charge of this effort to “hunt down misspent tax dollars in every agency and department of this government.”
Biden made an appearance in the clip, noting how the job is going to take “relentless focus.”
“We’re holding ourselves accountable, and we’re deeply committed and focused on making government function better,” he said.
JAMES CARVILLE: TOO MANY DEMOCRATS ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS OVER TRUMP. IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY
Conservatives shared the video as proof that even Democratic figures saw the need for dramatic spending cuts.
Musk shared the clip, writing, “Obama sounds exactly like @DOGE!!”
Podcast host Joe Rogan said, “Took 14 years and @elonmusk & @realDonaldTrump for the talk to become action.”
Sports radio host Glenn Ordway commented, “Sounds like Trump is just doing exactly what Obama did in 2011…don’t remember Dems complaining then.”
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, shared the video as well, writing, “There’s a video/tweet for everything (2011).”
Reps for the Obamas did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital‘s request for comment.

LA Times writers suggest World Series champion Dodgers should skip WH visit
The Los Angeles Dodgers are the reigning World Series champions, meaning they have an opportunity to visit President Donald Trump in the White House.
However, a recent story in the Los Angeles Times told their readers, “Don’t bet on it.’
The Times mentioned how Mookie Betts skipped out on a visit in 2019 with the Boston Red Sox and remains outspoken about social justice issues, and other former Dodgers, as well as co-owners Magic Johnson and Billie Jean King, have been critical of the president in the past.

Los Angeles will be in D.C. early in the season, with a three-game series from April 7 through 9. That is likely to be the time the Dodgers would pay their visit. (They will also visit the nearby Baltimore Orioles in early September.)
But the Times said that “it’s hard to imagine” the team visiting 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
“All in all, it’s hard to imagine the Dodgers agreeing to a celebratory photo op with the president right now. Los Angeles is not just Dodger blue, but Democrat blue,” the story read. “The president lost L.A. County by 33 percentage points. In his feuds with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Trump has threatened to withhold fire disaster funds without concessions. He seems to never miss an opportunity to take a swipe at the Golden State.
“The World Champion Dodgers should stand up to, not next to, the president. If an overture from the White House comes, they can send a friendly note: Thanks, but no.”
The Dodgers visited former president Joe Biden in July 2021 to celebrate their 2020 World Series title.
CONGRESSMAN SAYS MLB IS OUSTING TREVOR BAUER DUE TO TRUMP SUPPORT, IN LETTER TO ROB MANFRED
The Philadelphia Eagles will visit the White House on April 28 amid their Super Bowl LIX victory, despite prior rumors that they would skip, as they did in 2018. The Florida Panthers recently visited the president to celebrate their Stanley Cup victory last summer.
The last championship team from the pros to visit Trump in office during his first presidency were the 2019 Washington Nationals, five days after their World Series victory over the Houston Astros (despite Sean Doolittle’s criticisms of the president). The pandemic made visits tougher in 2020, and by the time restrictions started to be lifted, Biden had taken office.
The UConn men’s and LSU women’s teams visited Biden last year. The former president was criticized for originally not inviting the University of Georgia football team last year, and after they received an invitation, the Bulldogs did not go. They also did not make the trip the year before, due to COVID-19 safety precautions.

Both the Las Vegas Aces and Boston Celtics, the reigning WNBA and NBA champs, respectively, visited Biden before he left office. The prior NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, notably canceled their visit last year, citing their quest to earn the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. (They got the No. 2 seed after a tiebreaker.)
Longtime TV actor leans on God during ‘hardest’ year in cancer battle
James Van Der Beek marked his 48th birthday by reflecting on the “hardest year of his life,” as he continues to battle cancer.
As the “Dawson’s Creek” star confessed his journey with colorectal cancer has deeply impacted his marriage and family, Van Der Beek leaned on his faith through a tumultuous time.
In a social media video posted on March 8 and titled, “What cancer taught me,” the Hollywood actor began to share what he took away from his “48th trip around the sun.”
JAMES VAN DER BEEK MISTOOK CANCER SYMPTOMS FOR PROBLEMS WITH HIS DIET
“Today’s my birthday and it has been the hardest year of my life,” Van Der Beek began.
“When I was younger, I used to define myself as an actor, which was never all that fulfilling, and then I became a husband… it was much better and then I became a father… that was the ultimate,” he said to his 1.6 million followers on Instagram.
Van Der Beek shares six children with his wife Kimberly — Olivia, 14, Joshua, 13, Annabel, 11, Emilia, 8, Gwendolyn, 6, and Jeremiah, 2.
JAMES VAN DER BEEK FORCED TO REVEAL CANCER DIAGNOSIS AHEAD OF PLANNED TIMELINE
The father-of-six pointed out that during his cancer battle he was forced to “look my own mortality in the eye.”
“I had to come nose to nose with death,” he remarked. “And all those definitions that I cared so deeply about were stripped from me.”

“I was away for treatment, so I could no longer be a husband who was helpful to my wife,” Van Der Beek continued. “I could no longer be a father who could pick up his kids and put them to bed and be there for them. I could not be a provider because I wasn’t working.”

During his cancer journey, the actor admitted he began to question if he was “just a too-skinny, weak guy, alone in an apartment with cancer … what am I?”
The “Varsity Blues” star said at that moment he leaned on his faith.
“I am worthy of God’s love simply because I exist,” he shared. “And if I’m worthy of God’s love, shouldn’t I also be worthy of my own?”

“As I move through this healing portal toward recovery,” Van Der Beek said, “I wanted to share that with you because that revelation that came to me was in no small part to all the prayers and the love that had been directed toward me.”
He went on to say, “I certainly don’t claim to know what God is or explain God, my efforts to connect to God are an ongoing process that is a constant unfolding mystery to me.”
“But, if it’s a trigger that feels too religious, you can take the word God out of your mantra and it can simply be ‘I am worthy of love.’ Because you are.”
Van Der Beek has remained in good spirits as he battles stage 3 colorectal cancer.
According to the Mayo Clinic, “many treatments can help control” colorectal cancer, including “surgery, radiation therapy and medicines, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.”

In November 2024, Van Der Beek first revealed his diagnosis in a statement to People: “I have colorectal cancer. I’ve been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family.”
“There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good,” he added.
