Shaun King Insists He Helped Free U.S. Hostages, Despite Family Pushback

A person identified in social justice circles has claimed to have helped with the discharge of two American hostages amid the Israel-Hamas battle — however the household’s calling BS.

Shaun King has been trending all weekend over a submit he threw up Friday — which appeared to be him taking credit score, a minimum of partly, for the safe return of Judith Raanan and her teenage daughter, Natalie Raanan.

King stated he was grateful Natalie and her mom had been freed, including … “As I said last week, Natalie and her family have been supporters of mine and have protested police violence in America alongside us.”

He continued, “I am also thankful for the Qatari government for helping to negotiate this. Dozens of us worked frantically behind the scenes to help make this possible.”

King completed by saying … “I spoke to Natalie’s family this afternoon and they are anxiously awaiting more updates.”

Nicely, his model of occasions apparently does not fairly align with what the Raanan household’s conscious of — ‘trigger they’re saying they straight up do not know this man. The household launched a press release, saying … “Today we came across bizarre posts on the Instagram page of one Shaun King, who turns out to have millions of followers, who claims that our relative Natalie Raanan supports the anti-Israeli messages he uploads to his page.”

The household goes on … “First and foremost, we make it clear that he is lying! Our family does not and did not have anything to do with him, neither directly nor indirectly. Not to him and not to anything he claims to represent.” They go on to say Natalie has by no means met Shaun, and she or he first discovered about him immediately amid all of the hypothesis … of which there’s been a lot.

The Raanan household says of us should not purchase what King’s promoting … and that his claims quantity to misinformation — which they are saying is spreading like wildfire. Additionally they notice they’ve extra relations and family members in captivity that they are working to have launched.

Now, as for King … he is already defending himself by now sharing who precisely he spoke with — and because it seems, he says it was a brother of Natalie’s … going to submit receipts of conversations he says he had with the man, detailing his efforts to have her freed.

He additionally claims he simply spoke to the Raanan household — presumably the identical individuals who launched this blistering assertion — and insists they’re being compelled to distance themselves from him. So, at this level … there appears to be conflicting accounts over what is going on on.
