‘I’m proud of you, my son’: Itzik Gvili speaks over his son’s coffin near Gaza border

Itzik Gvili, the father of the last hostage returned from Gaza under a US-brokered ceasefire exchange deal, said he was proud of his son after his coffin arrived in Israel on Monday.

“You should see the honors we’re giving you here. All the police are with you, all the army is with you, all the people are with you. I’m proud of you, my son,” Gvili says at a ceremony held shortly after his son’s remains were returned at the Nahal Oz military outpost near Gaza.
