Grapel en route to Israel

The American-Israeli national Ilan Grapel was released by Egypt in a prisoner swap after four months in jail, and is en route by air from Cairo to Tel Aviv. He is accompanied by MK Israel Hasson and Attorney Yitzhak Molcho. 

Grapel is to meet his mother upon his arrival at Ben Gurion Airport, before traveling to Jerusalem to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel has freed 25 Egyptian inmates in return for Grapel's release. (Attila Somfalvi)
