President Isaac Herzog and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu each call rescued hostage Noa Argamani to welcome her home.
In the one-minute call, Herzog expresses his excitement at Argamani’s return, as the rescued hostage boasts a huge smile and thanks the president.
“I embrace you in the name of the entire nation of Israel,” Herzog says.
“I’m so happy to be here,” Argmani replies. “Thank you for everything. Thank you for this moment.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asks Argamani how she is feeling in their call.
“Very excited,” she says, expressing her excitement of conversing in Hebrew after so long.
“Hebrew, and at home, which is also important,” the prime minister responds. “We didn’t give up on you for a moment. I don’t know if you believed it, but we believed it, and I am glad it happened.”
“Get better with your family, and hug your mother as well,” Netanyahu says.
