JERUZALEM – Egypte heeft een Israëlische Arabier vrijgelaten die al vijftien jaar vastzat wegens spionage. In ruil heeft Israël twee Egyptenaren vrijgelaten. Israëlische en Egyptische functionarissen maakten de gevangenenruil donderdag bekend. De Israëliër is inmiddels teruggekeerd in zijn land, liet het kantoor van premier Benjamin Netanyahu weten. Hij was in 2000 tijdens een bezoek aan familie in de Sinaï opgepakt nadat hij illegaal de grens met Egypte was overgestoken. Daarna werd hij voor spionage veroordeeld. Waarvoor de twee Egyptenaren zijn veroordeeld, is niet bekend.(DE TELEGRAAF/telegraaf.nl)…[+]
