Cabinet Approves Outline for the Release of Ilan Grapel From
Egypt
By Israel News Agency Staff Jerusalem,
Israel --- October 27, 2011 .... Part of the following was communicated
by the Israel Prime Minister's Media Adviser to the Israel
News Agency. Twenty-five prisoners who were being held in a jail in southern Israel were being bused today to the border with Egypt for a swap for the US Israeli citizen jailed in Cairo on suspicion of espionage. Ilan Grapel and his family have denied that he was ever involved in spy activitity for any government. Grapel's father, Daniel Grapel, told The Associated Press that his son had been held in isolation in an unknown location and that when they last spoke two weeks ago, he seemed to be in "OK" condition and "getting fed." "I am happy that this thing will be done and over with and that he will be able to resume his normal life away from Egypt," he said in an interview from his home in Queens, New York. Grapel, a 27-year-old legal student at Emory Law School in Atlanta, was volunteering at a legal aid organization in Cairo, Egypt when he was arrested on June 12. "He certainly was not a spy," said US Rep. Gary Ackerman. "He did what college kids do, posted a picture of himself on Facebook." That, said Ackerman, is "not what Mossad agents do."
