Sagui Dekel Chen, a dual US-Israeli citizen who was held captive in Gaza, is now back home after being released by Hamas, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced in a tweet.
“Sagui is home!” Rubio said. “American Sagu2i Dekel Chen and two more hostages were released by Hamas in Gaza thanks to POTUS’ strength and leadership".
Hamas released three Israeli captives on Saturday and Israel released over 300 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in exchange, in the latest swap under a fragile ceasefire deal.
Sagui is home! American Sagui Dekel Chen and two more hostages were released by Hamas in Gaza thanks to @POTUS' strength and leadership. STAY STRONG EDAN - we will have you home soon!
