Hamas has released two US hostages who were abducted during the Palestinian group’s deadly raid on Israel this month.
Israel confirmed they had received mother and daughter Judith and Natalie Raanan from Hamas at the Gaza boundary.
The pair were freed for “humanitarian reasons”, Hamas said.
US President Joe Biden said he was overjoyed at their release and confirmed he had spoken with the Raanans on the phone.
As of Friday, at least 32 American citizens had been confirmed dead this month in the Israel-Hamas conflict, while 10 remained unaccounted for, according to the US state department.
I wanted to highlight this line just in case anyone thought they were the only two American hostages.
Need to eradicate hamas still. Its just isis with another name.
All they stand for is hatred and death.
And in a surprise move today, the State Department announced that, actually, Israel is a US territory and Israelis have been American this entire time.
