American mother and daughter who were taken hostage in Israel released, Hamas says
Greta Thunberg deletes pro-Palestinian post featuring antisemitic trope, claims she ‘was completely unaware’The two American women who were released by Hamas Friday after being held captive for nearly two weeks are pillars of the community that is now cheering their return.
“It has been confirmed through both the Israel government and through the US government that Natalie and Judith were taken from the guest house at Nahal Oz under gunpoint and transported somewhere,” Ben Raanan — Natalie’s brother and Judith’s stepson — “We talked about what she wanted to do next, what she wanted to do while in college,” cousin Hila Cohen recalled.Natalie’s more imminent plans included adopting a new dog after her previous one passed away a few days before the trip.“She loves animals, likes life, likes friends — typical teenager.”
Judith – who grew up in Israel and often went by her Hebrew name, Yehudit – worked as an esthetician, according to the Sun-Times. A former neighbor, Carol Krikorian, added that it was difficult to picture the vibrant mother and daughter in captivity.
