President Herzog spoke today (Saturday) with each of the four hostages - Noa Argamani (25), Almog Meir Jan (21), Andrey Kozlov (27), and Shlomi Ziv (40) - who were rescued in an IDF operation in Nusseirat.
Herzog told Noa Argamani that "Noa, I am so excited to hear your voice, it simply brings tears to my eyes.
"I am sending you an embrace on behalf of the entire people of Israel. I must tell that women named Noa all over the world have changed their picture to yours, you are a global icon. I am so excited and wish and pray that your mother, Liora, will also see you soon. I am embracing you from the bottom of my heart. I wish you good health and welcome home."
Talking to Shlomo Ziv, the President said "The main thing is that you are home. Know that your mother and sisters are amazing, and it was a great honor for me to talk and work with them. I wish you much happiness and joy, and that you only feel good."
