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. An Israeli army spokesman said the two Americans were out of the Gaza Strip and with the Israeli military. Hamas said Friday it released them for humanitarian reasons in an agreement with the Qatari government.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, which transported the freed Americans from Gaza to Israel, said their release offered"a sliver of hope” for those still being held. “The news that Judith and Natalie have been released from the hands of Hamas is overwhelming. It brings us a tremendous amount of gratitude to the Almighty, to God, for this incredible miracle,” Meir Hecht, Judith Raanan’s rabbi, said at a press conference outside his home in Evanston, Illinois, on Friday afternoon.
