Egyptian report: Grapel to be released Thursday morning

None

US-Israel citizen Ilan Grapel, jailed in Cairo on espionage charges, will be released 9 am Thursday and transferred via Taba Border Crossing, Egypt's al-Haram Daily reported.

 

An Egyptian military official said the details of the swap deal would be published after its completion. According to the report, Israel also demanded to release Ouda Tarabin, arrested back in 2000 on espionage charges – however Egypt allegedly rejected the request. (Roee Nahmias)
