Two American citizens held by Hamas since the beginning of the conflict are finally released, according to Theweek
“Today we secured the release of two Americans held hostage by Hamas during the horrific terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October,” the president said in a statement.
Biden expressed his appreciation to the governments of Qatar and Israel for their partnership in the release of the two hostages, Natalie Shoshana Raanan and Judith Tai Raanan. US President Joe Biden said, making sure his government will give them full support in their recovery process.
Afterward, Biden had a phone call with the two freed hostages and their families.
Our fellow citizens have endured a horrific ordeal over the past 14 days, and I am pleased that they will soon be reunited with their fear-ridden families. These individuals and their families will have the full support of the U.S. government while they recover and recover, and we must all respect their privacy during this time, he said.
Biden noted that his administration has been working around the clock since the first minutes of the terrorist attack to free American citizens held hostage by Hamas and is applying efforts to free those are being held.
