Roy Burdett had struggled to sleep for four nights, imagining when his daughter Kendalyn was safely back home.Wednesday morning brought relief as Kendalyn and a group of students, alumni, and staff from Dallas Baptist University landed at DFW on an Emirates flight from Dubai, days after struggling to find their way out of war-torn Israel after fighting broke out amid their visit to the Holy Land.
"I'm grateful to be back, and I'm really grateful to all of our friends in Israel who are still over there. They were so kind and generous to us," said Kendalyn."Even though the Middle East doesn't impact the world that much economically, from a stability standpoint, it is the powder keg that influences everything," said Chairman of the Clements Center for National Security George Seay.
Seay, who's also the Chairman of the Texas-Israel Alliance, said that priorities should include ensuring the conflict doesn't spread beyond freeing Americans presumed held hostage by Hamas, priorities should consist of making sure the conflict doesn't apply."A lot of people are worried about a global war emanating out of this conflict and the Ukrainian-Russian conflict and a possible Chinese-Taiwanese conflict.
For those grateful to be back home tonight, the focus turns to safety for those left behind as Americans are counted among the dead, and the number of Israelis and Palestinians killed continues to climb. The State Department raised the travel advisory for Israel and the West Bank to level three, urging people to"reconsider travel" to the region.
