Alleged Spy Returns to Israel from Egypt
An American-Israeli citizen, Ilan Grapel, was released and sent back to Israel following an Israeli prisoner exchange with Egypt. Ilan Grapel was a former soldier who was accused of being a spy in July, as Egypt placed him under arrest. The Israeli government brought him back via plane, where he landed at Tel Aviv and will eventually go to New York. The Egyptians released were in prison due to drug and other criminal offenses. The Egyptian-Israeli relations are still slowing rebuilding,and this is a potential first step in the right direction for both sides.
