The release of American hostages Judith and Natalie Raanan by Hamas has sparked a dispute between their family and controversial activist Shaun King, who claimed on social media that he “worked frantically behind the scenes to help make this possible.”
Relatives of the Raanans, who were visiting Israel from Illinois when Hamas attacked on Oct. 7, disavowed King in a statement.
“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 wrote in a statement obtained by TMZ.
Later, Natalie’s father Uri told The Daily Beast that her brother, Ben, had been in contact with King—but he still distanced the clan from the activist.
“We reached out to many people far and wide to bring Natalie and Judith to safety. We are not affiliated with Mr. King,” he said. “Ben, my son was talking with him without anybody in the family knowing about it until today. Our family in Israel posted this statement denying we knew him, before we learned about Ben talking to him. We have nothing further to say.”
King—whose fundraising efforts and ambitious promises have been questioned by critics in the past—immediately fired back after being called a liar.
“I spoke directly and repeatedly with this family. I have a job, career, and family. I would be throwing everything away to make such a thing up,” King told The Daily Beast by email Saturday. “Thankfully I kept records of all of them.”

He also treats black women poorly. I don't know why he never went down for this. Fuck that culture vulture.

He is a pathological liar. His wife posted about swirl dating early in their relationship and he looks exactly like his now deceased 100% white brother.
He’s a grifter and loons like Susan Sarandon support him after he’s fucked over black folks from here to Haiti. He should be in prison.

What is he claiming that he did? How did he get them released? Is he personal friends with Hamas?
