Shalit's parents petition High Court against opening Gaza crossings
Noam and Aviva Shalit, the parents of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit, petitioned the High Court of Justice on Saturday afternoon and demanded the border crossings between Israel and Gaza not be opened prior to their son's release or a guarantee his release is imminent.
In the petition, which was filed under their son's name as well, the couple claimed that opening the crossings would constitute a violation of the leadership's commitments and a divergence from the decision made by the Ministerial Defense Committee last week. (Efrat Weiss)
