Israel might free Palestinians in return for soldier

FT.com / In depth - Israel might free Palestinians in return for soldier: "The Israeli government, under increasing criticism for its Gaza offensive, indicated for the first time on Friday that it might be willing to free Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the release of a captured soldier.
Public security minister Avi Dichter said jailed Palestinians could be freed as a reciprocal gestur after the 19-year-old corporal Gilad Shalit was returned.

ADVERTISEMENTThe European Union levelled its harshest criticism at Israel yet. The EU condemns the loss of lives caused by disproportionate use of force by the Israeli Defence Forces and the humanitarian crisis it has aggravated,"
