Judith and Natalie Raanan, a mother and daughter from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, have been released by Hamas after a two-week hostage situation. They were visiting family in Nahal Oz near the Gaza Strip when they were abducted. The Red Cross facilitated their transfer to the border, and they have since been reunited with family in Israel, sparking celebrations back home in Illinois. President Biden, who personally spoke with the released hostages, thanked Qatar and Israel for their efforts. Uri Raanan, Natalie's father, confirmed his daughter's good health post-release. Secretary of State Blinken stated that U.S. efforts are ongoing to secure the release of over 200 hostages still held in Gaza, with Canada also working with Qatar to aid in their release.
