and President of Israel go to the military facility to greet this prisoner as they did for Gilad Shalit who was imprisoned wrongfully for five years while this fellow was held for 11 years. His family didn't have the wisdom, knowledge or financial backers to get the public behind his release, so it is not PR as an opinion writer on YNET presumed was the reason for the release of Isareli prisoners. It is HaShem and His mercy and that is who should be thanked and praised since He influenced the negotiations and leaders to find a way.

He should get the same care and treatment as other wrongfully jailed Israelis.

...than that American/Israeli adventurer received. I hope he stays in the USA and never comes back. Good riddance to bad rubbish!
