Israel hoopt zo wellicht alsnog op een versoepeling van het standpunt van Hamas betreffende een gevangenenruil? De leiders die gevangen zitten willen natuurlijk graag vrijkomen.

Bethlehem - Ma'an Exclusive - Israeli prison officials allowed jailed Hamas leaders to meet and discuss the issue of captured soldier Gilad Shalit on Sunday, according to a source familiar with the event.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the source told Ma'an that a meeting was held in the Negev prison and was attended by members of the Palestinian Legislative Council, the Hamas-affiliated Al-Qassam Brigades, and other prominent figures and former government ministers.
Israeli prison authorities had apparently responded to a request by the Hamas officials, many of them jailed at separate prisons, to hold the meeting on a potential prisoner swap for Shalit.
They reportedly also discussed living conditions at the prison, where Israeli authorities have lately limited the rights of Hamas detainees in an effort to pressure the movement to release the captured soldier, who is believed to be held in the Gaza Strip.
