A former NBC News journalist, who had worked as NBC’s Middle East correspondent, fought back tears as he revealed on MSNBC that Hamas has taken two members of his wife’s family hostage
Martin Fletcher told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle that he’d “just found out today” that his relatives—two Americans from Evanston, Illinois, who were in Israel visiting their grandmother for her 85th birthday—are “among the hostages.”
As we’ve read in a horrifying hostage manifest taken from a dead terrorist, the plan is ‘to kill the difficult ones’ and use the rest as ‘human shields.’
Fletcher, clearly emotional, told the host that they were last seen with “their hands tied being dragged away by the Hamas terrorists.”
