Peres: Shalit deal delayed because of Hamas rift

Published: 12.02.09, 12:55 / Israel News

President Shimon Peres met with students at Kibbutz Yotvata and responded to a question about kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit. He said that "the problem is not on the Israeli side, but on the other side. As long as Hamas is arguing within itself, there will be a problem."

 

According to the president, "The price the government agreed to is high and difficult to implement. Shalit has become a symbol of the youth and the State. We shouldn't issue statements all the time because they disrupt the negotiations. The government is working wholeheartedly and responsibly to bring him home." (Ahuva Mamos)
