Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said on Friday that Hamas may be attempting to “earn favor” with the United States by releasing two American hostages amid the ongoing Hamas-Israel war.

Hamas terrorist group has released Judith Tai Raanan and her daughter, Natalie Raanan, on “humanitarian” grounds following Qatari’s mediation efforts. Their release came two weeks after they were kidnapped during Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
