Former captive says other Israelis in Gaza could have been freed 'long time ago'

All Gaza captives could have returned home "a long time ago", said one of the captives.

Arbel Yehud, who was held in captivity for nearly 500 days before being freed earlier this year under a previous Gaza truce, told a press conference that the deal brokered by US President Donald Trump could have been struck earlier.

"While we are here, fortunate to embrace our loved ones, there are dozens of families that never will," said Yehud.
