Father of American teenage hostage freed by Hamas says she is ‘doing very good’
The father of freed American teenage hostage Natalie Raanan said on Friday evening (20 October) that she is doing well following two weeks in captivity after she and her mother were abducted in Israel by Hamas and held in Gaza.
Uri Raanan of Illinois also confirmed that he spoke to his daughter by telephone.
“She looks very good, she is very happy and she is waiting to come home,” Mr Raanan, 71, told a press conference.
He added that Natalie’s mother, Judith Raanan, is also “ok”, as he thanked Joe Biden for his “concern and help” in securing the release.
