Gilad Schalit was kidnapped by Palestinian militants back in June, 2006. On the 25th of this month, it will be exactly three years since his abduction. While there is no set date for his release, Israel sent a message to Hamas, through former President Jimmy Carter, agreeing to exchange most of the prisoners that Hamas is asking for.
"Israel is awaiting the letter of reply from Gilad Schalit to the letter transferred to him by his parents, Noam and Aviva, in order to verify that he is still alive," Palestinian sources said. "Afterwards Israel will agree to advance the negotiations for Schalit's release and end the affair."
The sources claimed that the Israeli government was eager to see Schalit return and had therefore agreed to release many of the prisoners on the list, including senior Hamas members.
I pray every day for the release of this young man. I wish all of God's love and mercy on them.
