“The hostage families embrace the family of Ilan Weiss during this difficult time. Ilan's return fulfills the State of Israel's fundamental duty to its citizens,” the statement read. “Our hearts are with the family today. Alongside the grief and pain, his return provides some comfort to the family after 692 days of waiting in the nightmare of uncertainty.”
