CNN’s Sara Sidner Captures Moving Scene When Flight Crew Sings in Hebrew On Her Flight to Israel
Sara Sidner on Twitter/X
CNN anchor Sara Sidner was boarding a plane to Israel to report on the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip when she captured a powerful moment.
Sidner posted a video to her Twitter/X account of an Air France flight attendant — named Jean Paul, natch — singing a song in Hebrew to an emotional passenger. Sidner said in her tweet that the whole flight crew was singing, and while it might be a touchy subject for some, the crew were also offering up some welcome hugs:
On my way to #Israel to report on the war.
I got on the @airfrance flight & the entire crew was singing in Hebrew. Caught this tearful moment as people boarded.
The flight attendant Jean Paul hugged people including me. I nearly burst into tears too. #Love still wins. pic.twitter.com/vo6UxPJIEg

After nearly a week of covering the atrocities of the Israel-Hamas War on CNN, it’s no surprise that Sidner nearly “burst into tears” at the kind act and she was clearly not the only one.
Sidner was one of the anchors who covered one of the most horrific acts committed by Hamas in the group’s attack on Israel: the release of photos on Thursday of babies murdered by the terrorist group.
