Natalie Raanan, 17, and her mother, Judith, 59, were transferred through the Rafah crossing into Egypt, where they were met by Israeli security forces. Family members of the two women delivered a statement welcoming their release. Uri Raanan, Natalie's father and Judith's ex-husband, said: 'I spoke with my daughter earlier today. She sounds very good. She looks very good.' Secretary of state Antony Blinken said the US believes some 200 captives are still held in Gaza, of whom 10 are American.
