Christian Liess, an American student rescued from Abu Dhabi, joins 'Jesse Watters Primetime' with his father, David Liess, to reflect on the Middle East rescue mission. A high school class trip turned into an unexpected brush with conflict when Christian Liess and his classmates were stranded in Abu Dhabi amid missile strikes in the region, forcing parents and U.S. officials to scramble to bring the students home. "It was a little scary, to be honest," Liess told "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Friday. Liess and his classmates arrived in Abu Dhabi for what should have been a routine layover in the United Arab Emirates on their way to Thailand for a class trip. The layover, however, turned into an unexpected stay in a region facing active threats amid Operation Epic Fury. STATE DEPARTMENT HAS HELPED OVER 130 AMERICANS EVACUATE ISRAEL DURING WAR WITH IRAN
