President Biden has been updating one family whose loved ones were visiting Israel when Hamas attacked— their step mom and 17-year-old sister were kidnapped.
Wednesday for the first time since Hamas launched their surprise attack Oct. 7. The president has been in contact with a man in Denver about his family being held hostage by Hamas.
Ben Raanan hasn’t heard from his 17-year-old sister, Natalie Raanan, and stepmother, Judith, since Hamas attacked Israel. Natalie and Judith were visiting Israel to celebrate Judith’s mother’s 85th birthday. The last time he knows they were alive is when a neighbor saw them forced from where they were staying at gunpoint. With plenty planned for her future, Natalie Raanan just graduated high school.
“She was deciding if it was fashion school, if it was interior design, or if it was a tattoo apprenticeship,” Raanan said. “The day after she moved to America, I took her out and we saw Cirque de Soleil,” Raanan said. “She sent a text saying ‘Hey, I am hearing gunshots and explosions, I locked the doors, I kind of barricaded myself in here with my stepmom. We are going to try to remain as quiet as possible,’” Raanan said.
