Father of 9-year-old hostage reveals what daughter told him after her release

I am really happy for her reunion with family, is more luckiest than those 600k children who lost their lives and those other 11,000 who lost limbs and other parts of their body.

Yes all the children, all the women, all humans should be healed whether in Israel or ghaza. All the kids' psychological health should be addressed whether from Palestine or Israel. Every human has equal rights and everyone deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and love

So CNN do u also interview the released children hostages of IDF all these years?

Even the doggos were so excited and happy she was home <3 their story broke my heart, Im so happy she is reunited with her family and wish her and the rest of the hostages all the healing in the world.

Why don’t they let the hostages speak about their experiences? We would love to hear from them

I'm 56. I remember everything from when I was 9. Of course she will remember.

At least, this child is living. I wish her the very best for her future. She is living.

Wasn't this the guy who said he would feel so much relieved to know his daughter was dead rather than being a hamas hostage ??

The person conducting the interview needs an acting award

I am Palestinian and I am absolutely heartbroken by with this man and his daughter and entire family went through. These kinds of segments are important to show to the world. Equally as important, the world must see the suffering experienced by Palestinian’s day in they out in both Gaza and the West Bank both before, and after October 7. The world needs more empathy. The world needs to put what is morally just before individual agendas. Unfortunately, that’s a naïve wish as we have seen time and time and time again the powers that be will inflict as much misery upon people as is necessary to fulfill its agenda. The truth of the matter is both pro-Palestinian, and pro-Israel Lise are manipulated by the various media they view, and people must take a step back and realize we are all humans. We have love, aspirations, fear etc. we are being pinned against one another by the extremists in power. Palestinians deserve freedom, peace and security. Israelis deserve to also live in peace and security. But you can not infringe on the rights of one group. No matter what .

I feel so sorry for this man and his daughter. They didn’t deserve to go through this. I am glad she wasn’t physically hurt like some of the Palestinian hostage children are in Israeli prisons. The trauma unfortunately will take time to heal

I felt so sorry for this man when he thought his daughter was dead, and for the regret he obviously felt after his original interview. People shouldn't be interviewed when so clearly distressed

Imagine going through what Palestinians go through every day...

I am so sorry for your loss and glad your daughter is home.

I am glad this little girl is home safe. Heartfelt condolences to families who lost loved ones to these bastards.

imagine the thousands of families being wiped out

The kid is traumatized due to constant bombardment, what she has experienced and felt in that chaos and killing and amongst the dead bodies she understands what the people of Gaza are going through hopefully her family and everyone around her understand as well as call for a stop to the carnage

So glad that Emily is home with her Dad and family. I wish them.both a happy and peaceful future. Love from Scotland.

Praying for complete healing for this little girl, and all the families. And those still in captivity.

I will be praying every day for the healing of this beautiful girl.😔
