The Prime Minister’s Office releases photos of former hostage Bar Kuperstein reuniting with his family in the hospital after his release from two years in Hamas captivity.
Embracing him is his father Tal, who suffered a stroke several years ago following a car accident. Tal learned to walk and talk again while his son was in captivity.
