| Title |
Israel trades Palestinian prisoners for single Israeli soldier because of Egyptian mediation
| |
| Summary |
Gilad Schalit was an Israeli soldier captured five years ago. He has been held by Hamas, a group who controls Gaza. Over the years there have been negotiations to let him go. Finally with Egyptian help, Hamas agrees to let him go for 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli.
| |
| Analysis |
With the release of Schalit, talks between Israel and the Hamas can be easier knowing that deals can be reached with mediation. Egypt has proven to be a successful mediator in the negotiations. With time, hopefully Egypt can increase agreements between the two. And perhaps bring peace between the warring groups.
