Knesset merges 4 bills pertaining to Hamas prisoners' rights
None
The Knesset's Internal Affairs Committee has decided to merge four bills dealing with Hamas prisoners rights in order to advance the release of captive soldier Gilad Shalit.
During the meeting, the soldier's grandfather, Zvi Shalit, asked MK Danny Danon not to dub the bill "the Shalit bill" and asked it only be implemented after Gilad's release. (Roni Sofer)
