American-Israeli hostage Sagui Dekel-Chen embraced his wife on Saturday after being apart from her for nearly 500 days.
"Our hearts ache for everything he missed, but now he’s here, unlike many others," his family said in a statement to the Associated Press. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
As with previous exchanges, Saturday’s hostage release was heavily choreographed, with the captives made to walk onto a stage and speak into microphones before a crowd in Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip. Dozens of masked, armed Hamas fighters lined up near the stage, which was decorated with Palestinian flags and banners of militant factions.
