Interior minister: As long as Shalit isn't here we have failed
None
Interior Minister Eli Yishai addressed the Shalit family protest to mark five years since Gilad Shalit was taken captive by Hamas and criticized the government's conduct: "It is clear that while Gilad Shalit is not here, we have failed.
"We should have completed the negotiations faster. He should be brought home safe and sound, the sooner the better." (Ronen Medzini)
