Jerusalem [Israel], January 31 (ANI/TPS): Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Thursday evening issued a statement welcoming home the three Israelis who today were release from captivity in Gaza - Agam Berger, Arbel Yehud and Gadi Moses.

"Agam, Arbel, Gadi - welcome home," he said. "The entire State of Israel embraces you, as do my wife Sara and I."
"This release was achieved, first of all, thanks to our heroic soldiers, and it was also achieved thanks to the steadfast and determined stand that we took during the negotiations," added Netanyahu.
