Yesterday, Ilan Grapel—the dual U.S.-Israeli citizen held since June in an Egyptian prison on espionage charges—returned to Israel through the tremendous joint efforts of Israel’s and the United States’ leadership. On his arrival, Grapel thanked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others for helping to secure his return.
