Uri Raanan said he hopes to be reunited soon with daughter Natalie, 17, who was freed by Hamas militants after 13 days in captivity.
In this handout picture from the United States embassy in Jerusalem, Judith Tai Raanan, right, and her daughter, Natalie Shoshana Raanan, U.S. citizens who were taken as hostages by Palestinian Hamas militants, speak with President Biden. President Biden told the American mother and daughter released by Hamas militants after 13 days in captivity that he was “just delighted” about their freedom and pledged to work toward the release of other U.S. hostages.
Hamas said it released them at the request of Qatari mediators for “humanitarian reasons,” though it still remains unclear why they were the first hostages set free. More than 200 are believed to be held by Hamas, including at least 10 Americans, authorities said. “She told me she’s good, everything is okay, she looks good,” he said. “I haven’t talked to her since then.”He added that he hopes to be reunited with his daughter early next week, when he said she could return to her home in the Chicago suburbs. Her birthday is Tuesday.Uri Raanan said he has not spoken to Judith, his ex-wife. He said family members were hopeful when they first heard news reports that Hamas was planning to release a mother and daughter.
