The work of a Hamas hostage in Africa
Hamas has released four hostages in recent days. While this is good news, more than 200 people remain captive, likely among them Israeli scientist Shoshan Haran, whose innovation in plant seeds improved the lot of poor Africans, including many Muslims.
Ms. Haran worked for more than a decade at Hazera Genetics, an Israeli seed giant, before launching the nonprofit Fair Planet in 2011 to develop vegetable seeds for struggling African farmers. Many feed their families and communities with poor quality seeds that expose their crops to pests, diseases and low yields.
