Statement of President Shimon Peres on the Return of Gilad Shalit

Gilad, Welcome home.

In a few minutes you will descend the stairs and enter your home.

We accompany you with excitement. With tears in our eyes. With a proud heart.

We saw you pale but standing tall. We stood tall with you.

You returned to us. And we returned to ourselves.

The children of Israel and the soldiers of the IDF are tasting the taste of freedom with you. The taste of our homeland.

Your parents worked day and night with love, with determination and respect for your return.

Your were isolated in captivity.
