Hope! TheHamasfirst hostages are free.

Finally, a glimmer of hope!

Hamas terrorists have released two US hostages. Judith Tai Raanan and her daughter Natalie Shoshana Raanan are safe and doing well, according to her family.

Israel confirmed the release, and the Israeli military received the two women on the border with the Gaza Strip on Friday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said.

Natalie’s father, Uri Raanan (71), told the AP agency she was doing “well, very well.” He was on the phone with his daughter. She will celebrate her 18th birthday at home in the USA next week. The father:

“That feels wonderful. The best news!”

In total, the terrorists have at least 200 people in their control. The Red Cross brought the two women from Gaza to Israel and called their release a “glimmer of hope.”

US President Joe Biden, who also spoke to the hostages on the telephone, said: “I am overjoyed that they will soon be back with their family.”
