At the same time, Canada's healthcare system experiences some of the longest wait times for "elective" procedures like knee replacements, and there's no way to skip the line, for better or worse.

JERUSALEM — The mother of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander told NBC News she was both shaken and relieved to see her son in a Hamas-issued propaganda video. The 20-year-old, who appears under duress in the Hamas video, calls on President-elect Donald Trump to use his power to negotiate for the freedom of those who remain in captivity in Gaza. Yael said she had spoken with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shortly after the video was released. Hamas leaders held talks with Egyptian security officials to explore ways to reach a deal with Israel that could secure the release of hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners. Hamas is seeking an agreement that would end the war while Israeli Netanyahu has said the war will only end when Hamas is eradicated.
