First US hostage freed in cease-fire has ties to Dem donor who purchased Hunter Biden’s artwork
First American Hostage Released Under Cease-Fire Deal Is Relative of Dem Donor Who Bought Hunter Biden’s Art
The first American released under the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas is the relative of Liz Hirsh Naftali, a major contributor to President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign.
Naftali also made headlines earlier this year after it was revealed she had paid a substantial amount of money to purchase first son Hunter Biden’s artwork, according to Business Insider.
Further, President Biden appointed Naftali to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad in July 2022.
Naftali is the great-aunt of 4-year-old Abigail Mor Idan, who was among the 17 hostages released by Hamas on Sunday, CBS News reported.
Idan is a dual U.S. – Israeli citizen.
Benjamin Weingarten, editor-at-large of Real Clear Investigations, posted on X on Monday, “So you’re telling me that the great-aunt of the youngest American hostage — and first American — to be released by Hamas is a buyer of Hunter Biden’s art, who was then appointed by Joe Biden to the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad?”
The swap of hostages for jihadists is likely to prove disastrous for Israel.
What this little girl endured and will endure for the rest of her life is unthinkable — as is the case for all the hostages and their families.

Weingarten later added it is not clear if Naftali bought Hunter’s artwork and then President Biden appointed her to the commission or he appointed her to the commission and she turned around and bought Hunter’s art.
*Addendum to initial post. The timeline is not clear as to when Ms. Naftali bought Hunter Biden’s art vs. when she was appointed by Joe Biden to the relevant commission. Hunter’s former biz associate Eric Schwerin was tabbed for that commission previously by President Obama

Naftali is a Los Angeles real-estate investor who has given $13,414 to the Biden campaign and $29,700 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this year, Business Insider reported in July.
The Democratic donor was featured on NBC Nightly News talking about Idan’s abduction earlier this month.

On Saturday, former President Donald Trump noted the lack of Americans who had been freed up to that point.
“Has anybody noticed that Hamas has returned people from other Countries but, so far, has not returned one American Hostage?” he posted on Truth Social.
“There is only one reason for that, NO RESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY OR OUR LEADERSHIP. This is a very sad and dark period of America!” the 45th president added.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan told ABC News earlier this month there were nine missing American citizens believed to be either held hostage or killed by Hamas.

Idan’s release makes that number one less American unaccounted for.

Has the timeline of events regarding Liz Hirsh Naftali’s purchase of Hunter Biden’s art and her appointment to the commission been clarified, and if not, what implications does this lack of clarity have
First American Hostage Released Under Cease-Fire Deal Is Relative of Dem Donor Who Bought Hunter Biden’s Art
The recent hostage release under the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has sparked controversy due to the relationship between the released hostage and Liz Hirsh Naftali, a major contributor to President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. Naftali, who made headlines earlier this year for purchasing Hunter Biden’s artwork, is the great-aunt of Abigail Mor Idan, a 4-year-old dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and the youngest American hostage to be released by Hamas.
The connection between Naftali and the hostage release has raised eyebrows and sparked speculation about a potential conflict of interest. Benjamin Weingarten, editor-at-large of Real Clear Investigations, tweeted about the situation, questioning whether Naftali’s purchase of Hunter Biden’s art and her subsequent appointment by President Biden to the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad are intertwined.
While the timeline of events is not clear, it remains a subject of interest whether Naftali bought the artwork and was then appointed to the commission, or if President Biden appointed her to the commission and she later purchased Hunter Biden’s art. Weingarten highlighted the uncertainty surrounding this issue.
Naftali, a real estate investor from Los Angeles, has been a significant donor to the Biden campaign and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this year. Her contributions amount to $13,414 and $29,700, respectively. As a prominent Democratic donor, Naftali has garnered media attention, including appearances on NBC Nightly News, where she discussed the abduction of Idan.
The release of these hostages marks a significant event in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. However, the connection between the hostage release and the actions of Naftali has raised concerns about potential corruption and conflicts of interest. The lack of clarity regarding the timeline of events further fuels speculations. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how these connections will be addressed and if any further implications will arise.
