Hamas released two American hostages, Judith Raanan and her teenage daughter Natalie, who were kidnapped when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7. The 18-year-old and her 60-year-old mother were freed for"humanitarian reasons", Hamas said in a statement on Friday.“They released them because they know that there’s an invasion pending in order to respond to the terror war that Hamas began against Israel and ultimately they're trying to limit that response if you will,” he told Sky News Australia.
