US Secured the 2nd Release of an American Citizen from Taliban Captivity This Month

One week ago American George Glezmann was released from imprisonment by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Readers may recall his gobsmacked reaction on the airport tarmac, when he was asked to comment on the situation, then his boundless gratitude to President Trump and everyone involved in getting him home after two years poured out. This is worth watching again.

Also noted near the end of that original article story:

[C]onsidering the track record over just a few short months, this likely won’t be the last U.S. hostage who Team Trump brings home.

But who would dare dream another release would come about again so soon?

On Saturday, Zalmay Khalilzad, a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, shared the news of Faye Hall’s release, along with a photo of her in the process of returning to the U.S., on his X account, which then spread like wildfire across social media.

He wrote:

American citizen Faye Hall, just released by the Taliban, is now in the care of our friends, the Qataris in Kabul, and will soon be on her way home.

In a similar vein to Glezmann after news of his release broke, Hall made a personal and emotional gratitude video on social media, addressed to the president, which Trump shared on his Truth Social account:

This version might be easier for some people to watch:

Here are more details on Hall’s detainment and the process of her release:

An American woman detained in Afghanistan by the Taliban since February has been released, sources told The Post Saturday.

Faye Dail Hall, who was held on charges of using a drone without authorization, was released Thursday as part of a deal Qatari negotiators helped broker, according to a source who briefed on the matter.

Hall was in ‘good health’ after undergoing a series of medical exams when she was received at the Qatari embassy in Kabul, the source said. Arrangements are underway to return her to the United States.

Something else noteworthy gleaned from reading the details:

Faye Hall, an American citizen, was held for weeks by the Taliban, not months or years like some of the Americans who languished in Hamas or other terrorists’ clutches during Biden’s time in office.

Trump has only been in office for a few months, but it’s like night and day. To paraphrase what some have become fond of saying in recent days, all it took was the American people hiring a new POTUS. Imagine that!

Thank you to President Trump, our great country is no longer the punchline of jokes internationally. Despite the radical left’s lies, righting America’s standing in foreign policy circles did not require an extension of the Democrats’ world apology tour, just a new president.
