Israel Matzav: Shalit negotiations postponed

Shalit negotiations postponed

Hamas announced on Wednesday evening that negotiations for the 'Gilad for terrorists' exchange have been postponed until after the Muslim holiday this weekend.

Earlier on Wednesday, Hamas complained of Israel's refusal to release two particularly vicious terrorists, even if they were sent out of the country: Abdullah (not Marwan) Barghouti and Ibrahim Hamad.

Among other things, Barghouti designed the bombs that ripped through the Sbarro restaurant, as well as in Cafe Hillel, Cafe Moment, and the Hebrew University cafeteria, attacks that all took place at the height of the second intifada. Hamad was head of the military wing of Hamas during the intifada years. Although, the Hamas sources said, Israel has agreed to release other "heavy" prisoners, it has refused to release these two, even if Hamas agrees to send them abroad to live.

Does someone in the Israeli government finally get it?
