EVANSTON, Ill. — — The father of freed American teen hostage Natalie Raanan says she’s doing well after her release Friday by Hamas.
Knowing Natalie may be able to celebrate her 18th birthday next week at home with family and friends feels “wonderful. The best news,” Uri Raanan said. “I am overjoyed that they will soon be reunited with their family, who has been wracked with fear,” Biden said in Washington. Their family had heard nothing from them since the attack and were later told by U.S. and Israeli officials that they were being held in Gaza, Natalie’s brother Ben has said previously.
“After being held against their will for nearly two weeks, they are now safe and receiving necessary medical treatment,” Pritzker said of Natalie and Judith. “I cannot wait to welcome them back home after demonstrating immense strength and bravery in the face of unthinkable terror.”
