The family of Hisham al-Sayed says in a statement that they “are overwhelmed with emotion at Hisham’s return home.”

“After nearly a decade of fighting for his return, the long-awaited moment has finally arrived,” the statement says. “We extend our gratitude to the entire people of Israel, who stood by us and supported us over the years. A special thanks to the families of the hostages and the headquarters that embraced us and saw us as a natural part of the struggle to bring everyone home.”

It adds: “Now, more than ever, we emphasize the importance of continuing the framework that will bring all the hostages home — the living for rehabilitation and the fallen for a proper burial in Israel.”
