President Donald Trump is poised to meet with Edan Alexander, who was freed in May from captivity with Hamas, on Tuesday — exactly two years after Hamas attacked Israel.

This marks the second time Alexander, 21-year-old American-Israeli soldier who spent nearly 600 days as a hostage after Hamas abducted him after its initial attack on Israel, will visit the White House since his release from captivity. Alexander previously visited the White House in July.

Alexander was raised in Tenafly, New Jersey, and headed to Israel when he was 18-years-old to volunteer for the Israel Defense Forces, and lived with his grandparents in Tel Aviv before he was taken hostage by Hamas.
